【IMB/Frontier Seminar】Howard Y Chang (張元豪)
"非編碼RNA 天王" 張元豪院士 即將於 七月九號早上11點在 中研院分生所開講！
張院士是史丹佛大學的傑出教授，以其在長非編碼RNA在幹細胞、發育和癌症中的作用的開創性研究而聞名。他最近在環狀RNA/免疫和癌症中的細胞外DNA（ecDNA）方面的突破性研究，更是開創了科學研究領域最令人興奮的新興方向之一。張院士發表了超過150篇原創研究論文，並多次發表在科學最高旗艦《Cell》、《Nature》和《Science》等高影響力期刊上。他關於HOTAIR的論文被評為《Cell》的里程碑論文，這一榮譽僅授予1974至2014年間的25篇論文之一。
張院士也是美國的“三院院士”。他因在“長非編碼RNA”的突破性發現而獲得2018年美國國家科學院分子生物學獎。2024年，他榮獲享有盛名的費薩爾國王(King Faisal) 獎生物學獎，進一步表彰他在該領域的傑出貢獻。我們很高興能邀請到Howard，他這次的演講題目是“RNA Origin of Sex-Biased Immunity”，將闡釋性別如何影響免疫系統的神秘機制。千萬不要錯過這次的難得機會！
IMB Frontier seminar _ Dr. Howard Y. Chang.
The seminar will take place at 11 am on Tuesday, July 9th, in the B1F auditorium of the IMB.
Howard is a distinguished professor at Stanford University, renowned for his pioneering research on the role of long non-coding RNAs in stem cells, reprogramming, development, and cancer. His recent groundbreaking studies on circular RNA/immunity and extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) in cancer represent some of the most exciting emerging directions in scientific research. Howard completed his MD/PhD under the mentorship of Dr. David Baltimore. Following his clinical residency and fellowship, he embarked on his research career at Stanford, where he achieved a tenured professorship in record time within eight years. Dr. Chang has published over 150 primary research papers in high-impact journals, namely Cell, Nature, and Science. Notably, his paper on HOTAIR was recognized as one of Cell's Landmark Papers, an honor awarded to just 25 papers from 1974 to 2014.
Howard is also a distinguished “triple” Academician in the USA and an Academician of the Academia Sinica. He was awarded the 2018 NAS Award in Molecular Biology for his groundbreaking discoveries of long noncoding RNAs and the development of technologies that unveiled the noncoding genome. In 2024, he received the prestigious King Faisal Prize in Biology, further recognizing his outstanding contributions to the field.
