My Background in Cancer Research

Before we go further, I think it is a good idea to let you know a little bit about me. Otherwise, some people might question my credential. A brief description about my background is shown below FYI:

I received my B.S. degree from National Tsing Hua University in Chemistry/Biochemistry in 1972 and my Ph.D. degree from the University of Kansas in 1985. I then did my postdoc research work at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Subsequently, I worked at several small and large pharmaceutical companies including Ciba-Geigy (now Novartis). In 1997, I started my own company, Unitech Pharmaceuticals, focusing on the discovery of anticancer drugs. Since 2008, I joined 21st Century Therapeutics and is now president of the company. I have been active in the research of cancer and immune-medicated diseases for thirty years. My accomplishments can be reflected partially by my awards of over $3 million in research grants and contracts from National Institutes of Health, mostly from National Cancer Institute. In addition to my scientific publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals, I received 18 patents in the fields of cancer and immune-mediated diseases.

If you think my blog may be worthy of reading, please check my blog from time to time and I sincerely hope you can become more knowledgeable about cancer and reduce the the chance of getting cancer.
