    2017 Boston Taiwanese Biotechnology Symposium Welcome Message On behalf of the Boston Taiwanese Biotechnology Association (BTBA), we would like to welcome you to the 2017 Boston Taiwanese Biotechnology Symposium. Since the first BTBA symposium in 2013, we have reached our five-year milestone today. We are very proud to share the news that we have attracted more than 330 attendees across the U.S. (from 20 states), Taiwan, and Europe this year! It is our sincere hope that BTBA Annual Symposium becomes a major event among young Taiwanese bio-scientists across the world and a forum for people to share experience, innovation, and friendship. BTBA was established by a group of young Taiwanese scientists, including graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and young professionals working in biotechnology-related fields in the greater Boston area in 2012. It is officially incorporated in Massachusetts and established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization since 2016. In 2017, we have held several successful events such as a series of workshops focused on different sectors across the drug development pipeline. We have continued our fruitful collaboration with Monte Jade of New England (MJNE) offering the second year of “mentorship program” to pass on valuable experience from mentors to mentees. We will also continue to co-organize the third year of “Mini-Symposium for Biotechnology” in Taiwan, which will be held at Academia Sinica on Dec 30th, 2017, to share what it’s like studying and working abroad with trainees in Taiwan. The 2017 BTBA symposium is featured to break the barriers between academia and industry and to enhance communications.

  • Neurobiologists Lily Jan, Phd, and Yuh Nung Jan, Phd, to Receive the $500,000 Gruber Neuroscience Prize for Fundamental Contributions to Molecular Neurobiology
    Media Contact: A. Sarah Hreha +1 (212) 247-8484 [email protected] Online Newsroom: www.gruberprizes.org/Press.php FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Neurobiologists Lily Jan, PhD, and Yuh Nung Jan, PhD, to Receive the $500,000 Gruber Neuroscience Prize for Fundamental Contributions to Molecular Neurobiology June 12, 2012, New York, NY – Lily Jan, PhD, and Yuh Nung Jan, PhD, of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the University of California, San Francisco, will jointly receive the 2012 Neuroscience Prize of The Gruber Foundation. They are being recognized for their fundamental contributions to the field of molecular neurobiology, particularly their pioneering work on how potassium channels control brain cell activity and on how brain cells diversify and specialize during embryonic development. Lily Jan Yuh Nung Jan The Jans have mentored and inspired a large number of students and postdoctoral fellows, many of whom now serve as faculty at major universities and research institutions in the United States and throughout the world. They will receive the award October 14 in New Orleans at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and will deliver a lecture titled “In search of molecular underpinnings of neuronal morphologies and function: from Drosophila neurogenetics to evolutionarily conserved machineries in mammals." “The Jans’ discoveries of fundamental mechanisms of potassium channel function in health and disease, combined with their genetic dissection of dendritic development in animals has built a scaffold for understanding the intricacies of neuron development and function,” says Carol Barnes, chair of the Selection Advisory Board to the Neuroscience Prize. Lily Jan and Yuh Nung Jan began to collaborate on their research soon after they finished graduate school in 1974.

  • Cold Spring Harbor Summer Courses and Drosophila Melanogaster Neurogenetics Lily Yeh Jan and Yuh Nung Jan
    ESSAY JGP 100th Anniversary Influences: Cold Spring Harbor summer courses and Drosophila melanogaster neurogenetics Lily Yeh Jan and Yuh Nung Jan In the fall of 1968, we arrived at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to start graduate studies in theoretical high-energy physics, realizing a dream that we’d held since our undergraduate days in Taiwan. But after a couple of years studying physics, we were inspired by Max Delbrück to switch to biology. Thereafter began a journey that took us to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Harvard Medical School before returning to California, where we started our little laboratory in the Department of Physiology at the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) in 1979. These formative years spent as students and postdocs had a strong influence on our careers that continues to inspire our scientific direction and approach. Our first few days at Caltech were disorienting. Besides the cultural shock, we faced our first experience of jet lag, having never traveled beyond a time zone previously. However, we soon Research interests scribbled by Seymour Benzer on the lunchroom blackboard, settled, and while graduate students in Max Delbrück’s labora- circa 1975.
