Voice from the awarded students and teachers

Du Shuqi, a student of Biological Science Department, the School of Life Sciences, Fudan University

The 21st century is the century of life sciences. I feel this field is very promising, with great potential in both scientific research and product industrialization. I hope in the future I can contribute to it. It’s my honor to accept Fosun Pharma Scholarship, which is recognition to my serious study. I'll use the award money to buy some IT books, because for life sciences professionals, lab practice only is not enough, IT technologies such as programming and modeling are also essential to research life sciences systematically.

Du Wenting, a student of Biological Science Department, the School of Life Sciences, Fudan University

My current research interest is in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The cancer is difficult yet necessary to overcome. I’ve received the admission notice from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where I hope to learn advanced techniques, broaden my horizon and achieve some results. As for my career planning, I wish to join pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs, applying the theory to the reality.

Zhang Xuelian, Associate Professor, the School of Life Sciences, Fudan University

Anti-tuberculosis drug discovery and target validation is my direction. As I gradually conduct in-depth research in this area, I find the study of anti-TB drugs is indeed very important for human health, that’s why I held on and am willing to persist. I’ll go on my journey, seriously, hoping to discover better anti-TB compounds to serve China. The setting of Fosun Pharma Scholarship and Faculty Fellowship of the School of Life Sciences, Fudan University is a good incentive for the students and teachers, so that you perceive some positive energy in this impetuous society, and in the cause of education.
