Service of 2010-2011 HMS-CSSA board ended on June 30, 2011 and elected 2011-2012 HMS-CSSA board takes office today (7/1/2011)

Dear All,

According to our bylaw, the service of HMS-CSSA 2010-2011 board will end on Jun 30, 2011. On behalf of the 2010-2011 board, I would like to thank all the members who have spent their time and taken efforts to build up a stronger and more productive Chinese community at HMS. Under the leadership of the Chinese general consulate at NYC, as well as with the support of the Harvard University and thousands of members of our community, we are proud to say that we have successfully fulfilled HMS-CSSA's core values and goals.

In the past one year, three programs have been launched by HMS-CSSA, which are able to connect and support each other to create and build the professional, informative and powerful platform for biomedical research communication, collaboration and career development. Longwood Scientific Salon (LSS) program, including neuroscience research group, cancer and stem cell research group, is to advance knowledge, exchange of ideas, and to foster collaborative relationships among Chinese scientists within Longwood research community. RESEARCH program is to highlight the breakthrough discoveries made by members of our community, and to establish an informative database to help and facilitate collaborations among our members. CAREER PATH program provides opportunities for professional networking and helps our members to facing the challenges they met during postdoctoral training, job hunting and at the beginning of their faculty career. These three programs gathered talented young Chinese scientists and scholars at Longwood medical area, provided them with opportunities to discuss cutting-edge research in biomedical science and share their novel perspectives in a friendly and interactive way. We have held about 30 seminars and discussions over the past one-year and truly hope these efforts can make your life easier and more fruitful.

In addition, the 2010-2011 board also made significant efforts to build a stronger connection between HMS-CSSA community and other local Chinese communities, professional organizations as well as academic institutions in China. We organized and co-organized multiple conferences in Boston, received delegations from China Education Ministry, central and local governments, many universities, institutes and companies from China, which further increased the influence of HMS-CSSA community to a larger population of audience and helped the talent recruitment for China.

Over the past one year, assistances were also provided to the members of our community, who initially arrived Boston or faced a difficult time in their life. These generous helps make HMS Chinese community closer and more vibrant.

Once again, without the support from thousands of our community members, HMS-CSSA's core values, goals and spirit would not be transformed into these achievements. Therefore, as the members of the 2010-2011 board,

HU Baoli (DFCI), FU Yu (HMS), CAI Changsi (MGH), DENG Lijuan (HSPH), GUO Chaoshe (Children's), HU Hai (BIDMC), HU Yi (BWH), MA Jie (Children's), REN Tao (HMS), SONG Wenyu (DFCI), TANG Tielong (Children's), WU Gongxiong (Joslin), WU Longjun (Children's), XIAO Zeyu (BWH), FENG Wuwei (BIDMC), HAN Xiaohui (Children's), TSZ Ho Tse (BWH), WANG Zhihui (MGH), XI Ruibin (HMS).
