  • Pioneer in DNA Research & Cloning
    Name in English: Ray J. Wu Name in Chinese: 吳瑞 Name in Pinyin: Wú Ruì Gender: Male Birth Year: August 14, 1928 – February 10, 2008 Birth Place: Beijing, China Philanthropy: Yes Pioneer in DNA Research & Cloning Profession (s): Scientist, Professor, Biochemist, Bioengineer Education: Bachelor of Science, Chemistry, University of Alabama, 1950; Ph.D, Biochemistry, University of Pennsylvania, 1955 Awards: 2003, Fellow of the American Academy for the Advancement of Science; 2003, Fellow of the Chinese Academy of Engineering; 2002, Frank Annunzio Award in Science and Technology, Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation Contribution (s): In 1970, Dr. Ray J. Wu developed the first method for sequencing DNA and some of the basic tools for DNA cloning at Cornell University where he had been a professor since 1966. His primer-extension strategy was later adopted by Dr. Frederick Sanger in developing a much faster method for sequencing DNA that won Sanger the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1980. The basic research first done by Dr. Wu has formed the basis for the entire world of modern biotechnology and DNA research and engineering. In 1976, Dr. Wu and other scientists spliced genetic material into bacteria, demonstrating that it is possible to introduce an artificial genetic message into living cells. At the time, he predicted that the procedure would one day make it possible to transplant a great range of genetic material. In the 1980s, he began to look at ways to make rice more resistant to insects, drought, salt water and temperature extremes through genetic engineering. His Cornell team successfully introduced transgenic rice with gene splicing applications that could also benefit crops such as corn, wheat, millet, soybeans, and sugar cane.

  • 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.

  • The Abcs of C-Pop
    The ABCs of Chinese Pop: Wang Leehom and the Marketing of a Global Chinese Celebrity GRACE WANG At the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Taiwan-based singer Wang Leehom appeared on stage with other prominent stars of Chinese and Asian pop for a rousing version of “Beijing, Beijing, I Love Beijing,” the catchy and often-replayed song that celebrated affection for the host city. Wang’s participation as a torchbearer and official performer in the Olympics underscored his enormous celebrity status both in China and the greater Chinese diaspora. Yet, despite being one of the most popular artists in the global Chinese market and a pop star with pan-Asian appeal, it is likely that most Americans watching the closing ceremonies on television had never seen or heard of Wang before. It is also likely that most US viewers were unaware that Wang had, in fact, been born and raised in Rochester, New York and did not learn to speak Mandarin until he enrolled in Chinese language classes as an undergraduate at Williams College. The singer’s unlikely musical journey from the suburbs of Western New York to international pop icon in Asia provides an entry point for understanding how discourses of race, market, and belonging are reworked in global contexts. How did Wang, a second-generation Chinese American, end up becoming one of the industry heavyweights of Mandopop (Mandarin language pop music)? What does the singer’s immense stardom and fandom in Chinese-speaking markets suggest about the travel and translatability of identities such as Asian American, Chinese American, Chinese diasporic, and ABC (American-born Chinese) in Asia? This essay uses Wang as a case study to investigate the transnationality of Asian American subjects and the particular calibrations of Chineseness that emerge from the singer’s music and public image.

Over the past twenty years, Taiwanese hip hop music has transformed from the stages of initial imitation and appropriation of the music form, the domestication of local culture to the present transnational crossover collaborations among East Asian countries. Transnational Taiwanese hip hop music brings abundant cultural diversity and flow and also presents the possibility of “trans-Asian” hip hop. The thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter probes into the history of hip hop culture, the art form of rap music, and the globalization of hip hop.
