We are pleased to announce that Professor Hong Wu (吴虹), Dean of Life Science College of PKU is going to have a faculty recruitment seminar on July 26th, 2015 (this Sunday) at Dana Farber Yawkey Center Room 306 2:00-5:30pm. Please refer to the seminar flyer for details.

Dr. Hong Wu is Professor and Dean of School of Life Sciences, Peking University, and Senior Investigator of Peking-Tsinghua Center for Life Sciences. Before returning to China, Dr. Hong Wu was David Geffen Professor of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology and Director of Institute for Molecular Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Dr. Wu received her medical training from Beijing Medical College, China, and Ph.D. degree in Biological Chemistry from Harvard Medical School. After postdoctoral training as a Damon Runyon-Walter Winchell postdoctoral fellow at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, MIT, she joined UCLA as a faculty member. A major research focus of Dr. Wu’s laboratory is to study the molecular mechanism of PTEN tumor suppressor controlled tumorigenesis. By generating tissue-specific PTEN deficient animal models, Dr. Wu’s laboratory elucidated the important role of PTEN in regulating stem cell self-renewal, proliferation, and survival, as well as its roles in controlling the PI3K pathway. These models have been used for pre-clinical studies of new therapeutic agents and for identifying biomarkers for human cancers.

Looking forward to your participation.
