As a former recipient of Cancer Research Institute postdoc fellowship, I am very grateful to CRI for the generous support to allow me to carry out frontier research work in chemical biology at Harvard University. It was an eye opening experience that not only broadened my understanding at the interface of chemistry and biology, but also gave me an inspiration to choose my own research topic related to cancer and immunology. In my independent academic work, I have benefited tremendously from that postdoctoral experience and I am glad I have made the right decision to develop new anticancer drugs.
