Lin Deng, PhD \u201915, is a recipient of the Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Students Abroad. The award, which includes a $6,000 scholarship, was established to recognize the academic accomplishments of Chinese students studying overseas.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am very excited to be a recipient of this award because it represents the highest honor to Chinese students studying abroad, and recognizes my scientific achievements here at Dartmouth\u2014this means a lot to me,\u201d Deng, a biochemist, says. \u201cThe prize will also provide me with opportunities to attend conferences and scientific training courses. I thank my thesis advisor Jamie Moseley and everyone in the lab for their support and help.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deng hails from Yibin City, Sichuan Province in southwestern\u00a0China. Sichuan is known as the hometown of\u00a0pandas and is famous for its leisure and gourmet foods such as hot pot.<\/p>\n
Since 2010, Deng has been a member of James Moseley\u2019s lab studying cell growth and division using fission yeast as a model. There, he discovered novel mechanisms for cell growth and division resulting in three first-author and one second-author papers published in prestigious journals.<\/p>\n
This is a very competitive award and it has been given to a most deserving recipient, Moseley says. \u201cIt reflects and rewards Lin\u2019s hard work as a graduate student\u2014he has been a model for success because of his strong work ethic and never-ending scientific curiosity,\u201d he adds. \u201cLin has made numerous discoveries about complex signaling networks that control cell growth, and has been a constant source of ideas and results for our entire lab. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with him. I\u2019m extremely excited about his future career in science.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deng will receive the award during a ceremony on Friday, April 17, at the Chinese Consulate General in New York City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
