  • Ray Wu, Pioneer of Rice Research: in Memoriam
    [ Special Feature ] Photograph of Prof Ray Wu, taken when the nine volumes of his book, /Recombination DNA/ (Methods in Enzymology series), were published and reserved and displayed at the front entrance of the US Library of Congress in 1993. Ray Wu, Pioneer of Rice Research: In Memoriam he Society of Chinese Bioscientists in America (SCBA) deeply mourns the passing of Professor Ray J. Wu, a molecular biologist and geneticist of Cornell University, USA, on February 10, 2008. With his keen vision Tand deft handling, Prof Wu founded the China–United States Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Examination and Application (CUSBEA) Program in 1982, and thus laid the groundwork for enabling over 400 of the top Chinese students to receive graduate education in the US from 1982 to 1989. 26 ■ Volume 12 > Number 6 > 2008 www.asiabiotech.com [ Special Feature ] About Professor Ray Wu Before his unexpected death from heart surgery on February 10, 2008, Ray J. Wu was the Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics, International Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics, and former Department Chair (1976–1978) of the Section of Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology at Cornell University. In fact, Ray Wu was very much his father’s son: his father, Professor Hsien Wu, was trained in the US and developed the Folin–Wu method for blood analysis, before returning to China to establish the first Department of Biochemistry at the Peking Union Medical College in Beijing in 1924. Professor Ray Wu first came recruited, and brought over 400 of professorships in more than a dozen to the US in 1948.

J., 2020, Vol. 92, N 5 UDC 632.938 doi: https://doi.org/10.15407/ubj92.05.161 A GLANCE ON THE ROLE OF HSIEN WU IN IMMUNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT MOHAM M AD EBRAHIMI Department of History of Science and Scientific Archaeology, University of Science and Technology of China, People's Republic of China; e-mail: [email protected] Received: 13 April 2020; Accepted: 25 June 2020 Early in the 20th century, a number of researchers in the field of immunology investigated this science chemically. Immunochemistry is the study of antigens and antibodies and their chemical basis and resistance to disease, developed from immunology. The immunochemistry period began in 1918 and continued through the early 1960s. Since the beginning of the immunochemical period, many researchers have been working in the field of immunochemistry by introducing important immunohistochemical and immunocytochemical methods. Hsien Wu was inspired by the science of immunochemistry and was able to determine a method for the determination of hemoglobin. In this article, I attempt to illustrate Hsien’s achievements in this period by presenting Hsien Wu's scientific biography and immunochemical history. Furthermore, providing documen- tary and scientific information on the course of immunochemistry and the role of Hsien in this course may be a spark for some researchers to explore the reasons for some of the chemical approaches and theories of this period.

This is the first event held by Boston Taiwanese Biotechnology Association (BTBA). BTBA is a group of bio-related graduate students and postdoctoral researchers who care about things both inside and outside of the ivory tower. The global trend of over-production of Ph.D. graduates inspires us to ask the following questions. What is the connection between our own research to other bio-related fields? What are the possibilities of our next step, and how can we achieve it? What is the future of biotechnology and how can we contribute? To this end, we are creating different platforms of communication such as symposiums and seminars that would facilitate interdisciplinary crosstalk, experience sharing, and possibilities of collaborations. Hopefully, through our synergistic efforts and brainstorming, some creative answers will emerge.

  • Hsien Wu, the Founder of Chinese Biochemistry and Nutriology
    Protein Cell 2012, 3(5): 323–324 DOI 10.1007/s13238-012-2802-2 Protein & Cell RECOLLECTION Hsien Wu, the founder of Chinese biochemistry and nutriology Shu Zheng Institute for the History of Natural Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China Correspondence: [email protected] Hsien Wu (1893–l959) was a world-renowned biochemist and nutrition scientist with excellent achievements in protein chemistry, clinical chemistry, immunochemistry, nutriology and so on. He was also the founder of Chinese biochemistry and nutriology, and was regarded as “a giant of Chinese chemistry,” and “without doubt the greatest chemist and perhaps the greatest scientist in China during the first half of the 20th century.” Besides a productive scholar in pursuit of truth and perfection in career, his multiple interests, kindness and self-discipline also made him a patriot, a caring husband, a wise father, and a respected colleague. Born in a scholarly family in Foochow, China, Hsien Wu once received the classical Chinese education and later took part in the civil service exam. In 1910, after 4 years of modern education in Fukien Provincial High School, he passed the government examination and won a Boxer indemnity schol- arship to study abroad. In 1911, Hsien Wu was sent to the United States, and entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dream- ing of rebuilding Chinese navy, he first majored in naval ar- chitecture. But attracted by articles like Huxley’s “On the Physical Basis of Life,” he soon switched his major to chem- istry and biology, and got his bachelor's degree in 1916. He then studied biochemistry with Professor Otto Folin at Har- Figure 1.
