Recently, the China Union of Life Science Societies announced the list of selected candidates for the seventh"Young Talent Support Project" (2021-2023).Wang Xin, an associate research fellow at the School of Life and Health Sciences, Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study (HIAS), UCAS was selected for funding.
Wang Xin serves as a teaching member and researcher in the School of Life and Health Sciences of Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study. He graduated fromWuhan University in 2013 with a bachelor's degree; in 2018, he graduated from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, CAS under the tutelage of researcher Liu Mofang; from January 2019 to August 2021, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow and associate research fellow at the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, CAS; in September 2021, he joined the chief professor Liu Mofang's lab in HIAS.His main research interests are the functional mechanisms of RNA-binding proteins and non-coding RNAs in spermatogenesis and male infertility. He chaired the youth project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Yangfan Project of Shanghai, and the General Program of Shanghai. His related research results were published in the journals ofCell andMolecular Cell.
The "Young Talent Support Project" is a program launched by the China Association for Science and Technology in 2015 for young talents. Each session of the project focuses on supporting a group of young scientific and technological talents under the age of 32 so as to give full play to the professional advantages of the association and innovate the selection and training mechanism of young talents. In this way, the program will help them to grow at a fast pace during the golden period of scientific research, create a reserve team of high-level scientific and technological talents in the country, and provide an important pool of human resources for the construction of an innovation-driven country and nurture national scientific and technological leaders with both virtues and talents. Young talents can receive stable funding for 3 consecutive years with RMB 150,000 per person per year.
Previously, Li Xiang, a postdoctoral fellow from the School of Life and Health Sciences of HIAS, was funded by the 6th "Young Talent Support Project". HIAS attaches great importance to the recruitment and training of young scientists and researchers. It works hard to build a team of young scientists and researchers, adopt new management mechanisms and has created a sound environment for scientific research, which has strongly stimulated the vitality and creativity of young researchers. It has made continuous efforts to build itself into a small yet high-quality R&D institution at a high standard.
