数字科技下的精准精神健康治疗
医路领航研讨会 第四期
在世界范围内,大约有七分之一的人曾患有精神健康疾病,而且这个比例还在持续增长。除了未满足的医疗需求外,精神健康疾病还会导致社会生产力下降约35%,人均预期寿命缩短10-25年,从而导致巨大的社会和经济负担。一方面,早期筛查和诊断以及进行早期干预治疗可以有效地延迟甚至预防疾病的发作,并最大程度地减少对患者和家庭造成的情感和经济损失。另一方面,从长远角度来看,持续的随访和治疗进展监测对于预防复发和提高患者的生活质量至关重要。但是,与当前护理模式中的疗法相比,预防和随访在很大程度上被忽略了。
通过先进的人工智能算法和多模式大数据,数字化精神健康产品现在能够捕获个人的数字化生物标记物,从而在整个连续治疗过程中提供个性化护理,包括提供早期诊断、治疗建议以及进行持续的患者监测。
我们很荣幸地邀请到了两位来自数字化精神健康治疗领域的发展先驱公司的演讲嘉宾,与我们分享他们的公司愿景,以及他们对数字化精神健康治疗未来的看法:Paul Dagum博士(Mindstrong的创始人和前首席执行官),Sharief Taraman博士(Cognoa首席医务官)。Cognoa专注于儿童神经发育障碍的治疗,例如自闭症和注意缺陷与多动障碍;Mindstrong关注对严重的精神障碍的治疗。

7月11日 OCEAN-BIO SEMINAR:中美投资并购中的国家安全审查和出口管制问题
2020年02月13日,美国财政部于今年年初颁布的全面实施《2018年外国投资风险审查现代化法案》(Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018)(“FIRRMA”)的两项最终实施条例(“实施条例”)正式生效实施。
FIRRMA及其实施条例正式施行后,有可能给未来的中美投资及并购带来“寒蝉效应”。中美投资并购活动将面临更为复杂的监管环境,必须及时从国家安全审查角度进行有效的评估,并据此提前进行合适的筹划安排。

2020年07月11日,海外华人企业家联合会生物分会(OCEAN-BIO)将邀请著名国际律师事务所Dorsey & Whitney(德汇律师事务所)合伙人、德汇全美及中国联合业务主席——潘惜唇律师,为大家做“中美投资并购中的国家安全审查和出口管制问题”的主题演讲。

ISCT publishes annual report on cell and gene therapy market authorisations
Report to enable patients and entire cell therapy community to identify treatments approved by government regulatory authorities
Vancouver, Canada, November 20, 2018 – ISCT, the International Society for Cell and Gene Therapy, the global professional society of clinicians, researchers, regulatory specialists, technologists and industry partners in the cell and gene therapy sector, today announces the first publication of its new annual report detailing global cell and gene therapies (CGT) with market authorization.
The CGT market authorization report is intended to provide a centralized resource and increased clarity for all of those involved in the CGT industry. This involves the scientific community, healthcare stakeholders and patient associations. The report will be a regularly updated document that will be republished yearly, and accessible through the ISCT website, www.celltherapysociety.org, and www.isct-unprovencellulartherapies.org.
The report has been designed to react to the increase in momentum around a widening number of CGT authorizations, as well as a parallel increase of unproven approaches where cells are delivered as treatments without rigorous scientific and regulatory assessment and authorization.
The report has been prepared by select members of the ISCT Presidential Task Force (PTF) on the Use of Unproven and/or Unethical Cell & Gene Therapies (UCGT) with lead authors Natividad Cuende (Executive Director, Andalusian Initiative for Advanced Therapies, Seville, Spain) and Laertis Ikonomou (Assistant Professor of Medicine, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA). The ISCT Presidential Task Force was formed in 2014 to support ISCT’s ongoing commitment to address the rise of commercially available unproven or insufficiently proven CGT treatments. These approaches are targeted at hopeful individuals seeking cures or health improvement for a variety of conditions. The PTF-UCGT characterizes unproven cellular interventions and promotes safe and effective practices worldwide.
The reliable, up-to-date resource will help patients to make informed decisions before receiving a CGT treatment so that they can avoid being exposed to unproven and unlicensed cell interventions not approved by a regulatory or medicine agency.
The report also provides an annual breakdown of CGTs that have received, as well in some cases, have withdrawn, market approval. This includes analysis on types of product and therapy as well as disease targeted. 44 unique products were identified. 84% were cell and tissue therapies, and 55% were autologous. More than one third target oncological or hematologic conditions.
In the US, there are over 16 cell, tissue and gene products with marketing authorization, 14 in Korea, eight in Europe, four in India and Japan, two in Canada, and one each in China and Australia. This contrasts with Russia, Middle East, Africa, Central and South America, which have no CGT market authorizations or data available.
“The number of market approved cell and gene therapy treatments continues to grow, with a high number of other therapies seeking approval. It is critical for all those involved in the sector, and most importantly those patients that may benefit from newly approved treatments, to have an annually updated resource detailing all approved cell and gene therapies,” said Massimo Dominici, Chair of the ISCT Presidential Task Force on Unproven and Unethical Cell & Gene Therapies. “This resource will give patients visibility on what cell and gene therapies have gone through proper approval processes, and help them alongside physicians to make more informed decisions about their treatment.”
In tandem with the efforts of professional societies like ISCT, it is imperative that the regulatory environment and guidance keep pace with the rapid advancements in cell and gene therapy. As such, this report also supports ISCT the FDA’s continued publication of numerous draft CGT guidance documents in 2018.

WUXI BIOLOGICS TO INVEST $60 MILLION TO ESTABLISH A BIOLOGICS PRODUCTION FACILITY IN THE UNITED STATES
WuXi Biologics to Invest $60 Million to Establish a Biologics Production Facility in the United States
– WuXi Biologics’ first overseas site in the United States
2018/06/11
WORCESTER, MA and SHANGHAI, June 11, 2018 – WuXi Biologics (2269.HK), a leading global open-access biologics technology platform company offering end-to-end solutions for biologics discovery, development and manufacturing, today announced that it is to invest $60 million and hire approximately 150 employees to establish a state-of-the-art biologics clinical and commercial manufacturing facility in Worcester, Massachusetts in the United States. The facility will be WuXi Biologics’ 11th global drug substance manufacturing facility (MFG11).
WuXi Biologics is a leading global platform company providing end-to-end solutions for biologics with a mission to accelerate and transform biologics discovery, development and manufacturing to benefit patients around the world.
This state-of-the-art “facility of the future” will be built upon the novel approach that WuXi Biologics has pioneered in deploying single-use bioreactors. It is also designed to run continuous bioprocessing, a next-generation manufacturing technology to be implemented in America for the first time. A total of approximately 4,500 L bioreactor capacity will be installed with two 2,000 L traditional fed-batch and one 500 L perfusion-based continuous processing. This facility will handle both clinical and small volume commercial production. An early-stage bioprocess development lab will also be included.
The new manufacturing facility supported by the Government of Massachusetts, the Worcester Business Development Corporation (WBDC) and the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC), is the Company’s first overseas site in the United States, as well as the third outside China subsequent to Ireland and Singapore new sites.
“Massachusetts is home to one of the world’s most dynamic life sciences ecosystems, with leading companies, top-tier academic institutions, and a globally-competitive workforce,” said Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker. “We are enriched when companies grow and invest here and are pleased to welcome WuXi Biologics’ expansion.”
“Having met WuXi Biologics’ leaders during their recent trip to Worcester, I am confident that they will contribute greatly to the city’s life sciences industry,” said Ms. Karyn Polito, Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts. “I have been pleased to work on the development of Worcester Biomanufacturing Park and our Administration remains committed to supporting our public private partnership.”
“The City of Worcester is thrilled to welcome WuXi Biologics as its first tenant to the new Biomanufacturing Park,” said Worcester City Manager, Edward M. Augustus Jr.. “As a growing destination in the global biomedical market, the city looks forward to officially opening this impressive campus and is eager to host WuXi Biologics in their first US manufacturing facility.”
“We are delighted that WuXi Biologics has chosen the United States, Massachusetts, but most importantly Worcester. We competed very hard for this one and we prevailed. The Baker / Polito Administration and the City of Worcester stepped up to make this possible. Another great day for Worcester,” said Mr. Craig L. Blais, President and CEO of WBDC.
“We are excited to reach this important milestone on developing WuXi Biologics’ first US bio-manufacturing facility and to announce their intention to move to Worcester,” said Mr. Travis McCready, President and CEO of MLSC. “WuXi Biologics brings a global biologics manufacturing expertise that will enhance our life sciences ecosystem and help Massachusetts biopharma companies develop novel therapies quickly and efficiently. We look forward to continuing to work to finalize this project.”
“Metropolitan Boston is acknowledged as a leader in the biopharmaceutical industry. The new site plays a key role in WuXi Biologics’ global bio-manufacturing network to ensure that biologics are manufactured at the highest quality and within a robust supply chain to benefit patients worldwide. We are grateful for all the support local agencies and the talented people here have provided for us. We believe we can quickly push forward this exciting project,” said Dr. Ge Li, Chairman of WuXi Biologics.
Dr. Chris Chen, CEO of WuXi Biologics, added, “The new site will undoubtedly meet WuXi Biologics’ growing need for biologics development and manufacturing in the near future. Many partners of WuXi Biologics are located within two hours of this new site. We are all very excited to initiate our first US site to enable local companies and expedite biologics development in the United States. We are committed to becoming the most comprehensive capability and technology platform in the global biologics industry to enable both local and global partners.”

GenomeFrontier
Therapeutics, Inc.
CAR-T cell therapy is a gene therapy in which patients’
white blood cells are genetically engineered to fight their own
cancer. Achieving more than 90% remission rate in patients with
advanced blood cancers, this innovative immunotherapy offers new hope to
dying children and adults with advanced blood cancers. Though
powerful in treating advanced blood cancers, conventional CAR-T is futile in
fighting solid tumors due to the drawbacks and limitation imposed by the
viral vectors used in CAR-T cell engineering. GenomeFrontier is
poised to change the outlook for patients with otherwise incurable advanced
solid cancers by confronting this very challenge with bold solutions using
our core technologies including Quantum pBAc, a revolutionized non-viral
genetic system capable of loading 30 times more genes than the viral method
and an innovative cell culture system designed for expending engineered CAR-T
cells to a therapeutic quantity while maintaining its
potency. With these revolutionary technologies, we are developing
universal super CAR-T therapies for solid cancers which are virus-free,
reversible, and potent enough for treating a wide-range of cancers in a much
safer fashion than the conventional CAR-T therapies.

CAR-T cell therapy is a gene therapy in which patients’
white blood cells are genetically engineered to fight their own
cancer. Achieving more than 90% remission rate in patients with
advanced blood cancers, this innovative immunotherapy offers new hope to
dying children and adults with advanced blood cancers. Though
powerful in treating advanced blood cancers, conventional CAR-T is futile in
fighting solid tumors due to the drawbacks and limitation imposed by the
viral vectors used in CAR-T cell engineering. GenomeFrontier is
poised to change the outlook for patients with otherwise incurable advanced
solid cancers by confronting this very challenge with bold solutions using
our core technologies including Quantum pBAc, a revolutionized non-viral
genetic system capable of loading 30 times more genes than the viral method
and an innovative cell culture system designed for expending engineered CAR-T
cells to a therapeutic quantity while maintaining its
potency. With these revolutionary technologies, we are developing
universal super CAR-T therapies for solid cancers which are virus-free,
reversible, and potent enough for treating a wide-range of cancers in a much
safer fashion than the conventional CAR-T therapies.

2018哈佛华人生物医学年会报道
哈佛医学院华人专家学者联合会(HMS-CSSA)经历十载春秋,已经成为哈佛医学院专家学者不可或缺的交流平台之一。一年一度的哈佛华人生物医学年会(以下简称“年会”)更是HMS-CSSA每年的重头戏。2018年5月5日,年会如期在在哈佛医学院波士顿儿童医院Folkman Auditorium举办。本次年会一共分为4个部分,内容涵盖了Development and Epigenetics(发育和表观遗传学)、Signaling Pathway(信号通路)、Cancer Biology(肿瘤生物学)和 Deciphering Protein Structure and Genome Sequence(蛋白结构解析和基因组测序),堪称是一场学术盛宴。现场的火爆程度不用赘述,单从报名满额的速度就能一瞥虚实。知识的力量是无限的,但交流的机会是有限的,为了不让赶不到会场的朋友们留下遗憾,协会还特意设立了分会场和网络直播,让知识能够更好的分享给大家。
大会现场座无虚席
主持人毛萍萍
晨光初起,协会成员和志愿者们就陆续忙碌起来,准备迎接广大学者的到来。与会者一个个入场,时钟也一步步走向开幕。在HMS-CSSA会长杨淞博士简单的致辞之后,哈佛医学院院长 George Daley 教授代表哈佛医学院向广大学者致以问候。他强调了科学对于人类健康的重大贡献,也重点强调了科学工作者们间交流和紧密合作的重要性,以及科学工作者的社会责任。
HMS-CSSA会长杨淞
开场致辞之后,哈佛医学院院长George Daley在第一个主题报告中,介绍了他带领的课题组攻克了20年来造血干细胞体外再生的难题,成功通过过表达7个转录因子将人工诱导干细胞重编程为造血干细胞的过程。该造血干细胞可以在体内自我更新并分化为红细胞和白细胞等各种血液细胞,为需要骨髓移植的患者带来了希望。
哈佛医学院院长George Daley精彩演讲
会议第二位报告人是来自加州大学圣迭戈分校的付向东教授,他为大家介绍了他实验室开发的用于从全基因组水平研究RNA和染色质相互作用的Grid-seq技术。通过该技术他们构建了不同细胞类型的染色质结构和基因组的三维构型,并发现了一系列在启动子-增强子网络中的关键调控节点。
加州大学圣迭戈分校付向东教授和哈佛医学院张毅教授
来自Whitehead研究所的美国科学院院士Rudolf Jaenisch教授首先介绍了他们实验室开发的甲基化报告系统,通过该系统可以在单细胞的水平下通过荧光衡量某一个基因启动子区的甲基化水平。接下来,他向我们介绍了使用改造后的CRISPR系统修改FMR1基因甲基化水平的工作,该工作为治疗脆性X染色体综合症提供了新的方向。
美国科学院院士Rudolf Jaenisch教授
哈佛医学院附属波士顿儿童医院的贺熹教授向大家讲述了他实验室最近一系列研究Wnt信号通路对于动物胚胎发育调控的分子机制,特别是他们最近发现的Tiki和Notum两个新的Wnt调控蛋白,这两个蛋白通过直接对Wnt蛋白的化学修饰来调控Wnt通路的活性。

Invited Speakers
George Daley, MD, PhDHarvard Medical School, Boston Children’s Hospital
Dr. George Q. Daley seeks to translate insights in stem cell biology into improved therapies for genetic and malignant diseases. Important research contributions from his laboratory include the creation of customized stem cells to treat genetic immune deficiency in a mouse model (together with Rudolf Jaenisch), the differentiation of germ cells from embryonic stem cells (cited as a “Top Ten Breakthrough” by Science magazine in 2003), and the generation of disease-specific pluripotent stem cells by direct reprogramming of human fibroblasts (cited in the “Breakthrough of the Year” issue of Science magazine in 2008). As a graduate student working with Nobel Laureate Dr. David Baltimore, Dr. Daley demonstrated that the BCR/ABL oncogene induces chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in a mouse model, which validated BCR/ABL as a target for drug blockade and encouraged the development of imatinib (GleevecTM; Novartis), a revolutionary magic-bullet chemotherapy that induces remissions in virtually every CML patient. Dr. Daley’s recent studies have clarified mechanisms of Gleevec resistance and informed novel combination chemotherapeutic regimens.
Dr. Daley received his bachelor's degree magna cum laude from Harvard University (1982), a Ph.D. in biology from MIT (1989), and the M.D. from Harvard Medical School, where he was one of twelve individuals in the school’s history to be awarded the degree summa cum laude (1991). He served as Chief Resident in Internal Medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital (94-95) and is currently a staff physician in Hematology/Oncology at the Children's Hospital and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, and a member of the Hematology Division of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. He has been elected the National Academy of Medicine(NAM), the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the American Association of Physicians, and the American Pediatric Societies, and is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Xiang-Dong Fu, PhDDepartment of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of California, San Diego
Dr. Fu’s laboratory is interested in molecular and cell biology of RNA metabolism and regulation in higher eukaryotic cells. Current research interests in the Fu lab include the regulation of alternative splicing, functional RNA elements in mammalian genomes, transcription/splicing coupling, nuclear architecture, and cellular reprogramming. Dr. Fu was a major contributor for co-discovery of SR proteins, a family of RNA binding proteins involved in constitutive and alternative pre-mRNA processing. His laboratory was the first to identify a family of kinases specific for SR proteins and demonstrated that these kinases are critical for transducing external and intracellular signals to regulate alternative splicing in the nucleus. Dr. Fu's group elucidated a series of regulatory mechanisms for splice site selection in mammalian cells and developed multiple key technologies for high throughput analysis of gene expression, mRNA isoforms, and genomic interactions. Dr. Fu's current research is focused on integrated regulation of gene expression at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Dr. Fu's contribution to biomedical science has been recognized by selection for the Searle Scholar award (1994) and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Scholar award (1997) and election to Fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science (2010).
Dr. Fu is a Professor of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at University of California, San Diego. Dr. Fu received his MS degree in Virology from Wuhan University, China in 1982, PhD degree in Biochemistry from Case Western Reserve University in 1988 (via the CUSBEA program), and postdoctoral training at Harvard from 1988 to 1992. Dr. Fu joined the faculty of University of California, San Diego in 1992 (Assistant Professor, 1992-1998; Associate Professor, 1998 to 2002; and Full Professor, 2002-present).
Rudolf Jaenisch, PhD
Founding Member of Whitehead InstituteDepartment of Biology, MIT
Dr. Jaenisch lab’s expertise is in epigenetics, reprogramming and stem cells. Dr. Jaenisch began his research career as a pioneer making transgenic mice, some of which have produced important advances in understanding cancer, neurological and connective tissue diseases, and developmental abnormalities. These methods have been used to explore basic questions such as the role of DNA modification, genomic imprinting, X chromosome inactivation, nuclear cloning, and, most recently, the nature of stem cells. In addition, using mice as a model and a technique called “altered nuclear transfer,” Dr. Jaenisch has demonstrated that it is possible to procure embryonic stem cells without harming a viable embryo. More recently he has demonstrated that somatic cells can be reprogrammed in vitro to pluripotent ES-like cells and that these cells are suitable to correct both genetic and induced defects in mice by transplantation therapy. Using this technique for turning skin cells into stem cells, the lab has been able to cure mice of sickle cell anemia -- the first direct proof that these easily obtained cells can reverse an inherited disease.
Dr. Jaenisch is a Professor of Biology at MIT and a founding member of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research. He has been granted numerous awards from organizations across the world. He is a pioneer of transgenic science, in which an animal’s genetic makeup is altered. Jaenisch has focused on creating genetically modified mice to study cancer and neurological diseases. Dr. Jaenisch received his doctorate in medicine from the University of Munich in 1967. He became a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute in Munich, studying bacteriophages. He left Germany in 1970 for research positions at Princeton University, Fox Chase Institute for Cancer Research and the Salk Institute. He returned to Germany in 1977 to become the head of the Department of Tumor Virology at the Heinrich Pette Institute at the University of Hamburg. He arrived at MIT in 1984. He participated in the 2005 science conference on human cloning at the United Nations and serves on the science advisory boards of the Genetics Policy Institute and Stemgent.
Xi He, PhDBoston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School
Dr. He’s laboratory seeks to understand the molecular basis of cell-to-cell communication, and how this communication regulates embryonic and neural development in vertebrates. Dr. He is also interested in learning how defective regulation of cell communication causes human cancers and diseases. In particular, Dr. He is investigating signaling mechanisms employed by secreted growth factors of the Wnt family, which play critical roles in establishing the anterior-posterior axis of the embryo and underlie the formation of head versus trunk regions during early embryogenesis. Wnt signaling pathways are also pivotal in the development of human cancers--as several key Wnt signaling components are encoded by human oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes--and in the pathogenesis of many human diseases, such as osteoporosis and degenerative disorders. Dr. He aims to identify molecular components of Wnt signaling pathways and the mechanisms by which Wnt pathways are activated and governed during embryonic development and human tumorigenesis.

Wenyi Wei, PhDBeth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School
The major focus of research in Dr. Wei’s laboratory is aimed at understanding how APC and SCF activities contribute towards cell cycle regulation and subsequent tumor formation. More specifically, Dr. Wei is interested in elucidating the underlying mechanisms that define the oscillation of APC and SCF activity in different cell cycle phases. Currently, he is pursuing the underlying mechanisms that timely regulate APC/Cdh1 activity in different cell cycle phases. Additionally, Dr. Wei is also interested in understanding whether other layers of crosstalk between the APC and SCF complex exist. Furthermore, Dr. Wei would like to identify novel downstream targets for both APC and SCF complexes, which will help pinpoint their functions in both cell cycle control and tumor formation. To this end, Dr. Wei has developed biochemical purification approaches that would allow him to identify novel downstream targets for APC/Cdh1 and SCF/Fbw7 complexes. In addition, he is also interested in defining the tumor suppressor function of Cdh1 utilizing conditional Cdh1 knockout mice. To achieve these goals, Dr. Wei’s lab will use multidisciplinary approaches including biochemical and genetic analysis.
Dr. Wenyi Wei received his B.A. degree from Shandong University in 1993 and then obtained his M.S. training in Chinese Academy of Science from 1993 to 1996. Afterwards Dr. Wei received his Ph.D. training in the Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology & Biochemistry (MCB) at Brown University and his postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Dr. William Kaelin, Jr. at DFCI and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Wei became independent from 2006 in Department Pathology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Department of Pathology at Harvard Medical School.

Nathanael Gray, PhD
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School
Dr. Nathanael Gray’s research utilizes the tools of synthetic chemistry, protein biochemistry, and cancer biology to discover and validate new strategies for the inhibition of anti-cancer targets. Dr. Gray’s research has had broad impact in the areas of kinase inhibitor design and in circumventing drug resistance. Dr. Gray has established a discovery chemistry group that focuses on developing first-in-class inhibitors for newly emerging biological targets, including resistant alleles of existing targets, as well as inhibitors of well-validated targets, such as Her3 and RAS, that have previously been considered recalcitrant to small molecule drug development. Amongst the additional notable achievements of Dr. Gray’s research laboratory are: development of the first T790M selective EGFR inhibitors, ATP-competitive mTor inhibitor, Torin1, and its use to discover that rapamycin is an incomplete inhibitor of mTOR; development of the first inhibitors of ERK5 (BMK1), CDK7 and CDK12.
Dr. Gray received his PhD in organic chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 1999 after receiving his BS degree with the highest honor award from the same institution in 1995. After completing his PhD, Dr. Gray was recruited to the newly established Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation (GNF) in San Diego, California. In 2006, Dr. Gray returned to academia and accepted a faculty appointment at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School in Boston. Dr. Gray’s scientific contributions have been recognized through numerous awards including the Career Award of the National Science Foundation in 2007, the Damon Runyon Foundation Innovator award in 2008, the American Association for Cancer Research for Team Science in 2010 and for Outstanding Achievement in 2011 and the American Chemical Society award for Biological Chemistry in 2011.
Jiahuai Wang, PhDDana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School
Dr. Wang’s lab has been focusing on structures of cell surface receptors that play critical roles in the immune system and nervous system. In collaboration with colleagues within Dana-Farber and Harvard Medical School, the Wang lab has worked out structures of a number of key immune molecules, including T cell receptors, MHC molecules, co-receptors and their interacting complexes. His group has also determined structures of many cell adhesion molecules, such as CD2, CD58, Cadherin, ICAM family members and the complexes with their interacting partners. More recently he begins to turn his interests into neuronal receptors. Most recently in collaboration with a group at EMBL, Hamburg, Dr. Wang has determined the structure of netrin-1 in complex with DCC, uncovering the molecular mechanism of netrin-1 bi-functionality, a long-standing puzzle in the neuroscience field.
