Liqun Luo's life story
Liqun Luo is a native of Lingxi Village, Kuocang Town, Linhai City, Taizhou (formerly known as Zhangjiadu Town). Father Luo teaches at Shanghai Normal University, and mother also teaches at Shanghai Honghu Middle School. Liqun Luo was born in June 1966 1. After graduating from junior high school, he was admitted to the juvenile class of the University of Science and Technology of China. 1985 was admitted as a graduate student by the Institute of Biochemistry, China Academy of Sciences. 1986 65438+ 10 won Guo Moruo Scholarship; 1987 went to study in the United States in August. Ph.D., Department of Biology, Brandeis University, Boston, USA; 65438+1June 1992 received a doctorate; 1In September 1992, he went to the University of California, San Francisco to engage in postdoctoral research and applied for a three-year research fund, totaling $74,000. 1996 65438+ 10. In October, biologists went to Japan to attend academic conferences and gave academic reports at Tokyo University and Kyoto University. In the same year, he made academic reports to China Academy of Sciences, Peking University and Tsinghua University Institute of Biochemistry. From June 65438 to June 0996, he worked as an assistant professor at Stanford University in the United States, studying "neurogenesis" of "neurogenesis". In the first year, he applied for a research fund of $6,543.8+0,000, and the school equipped him with a laboratory of 654.38+0.50 square meters, with a start-up capital of $320,000 in the first year. 1987 Up to now, he has published many papers in international academic journals, such as Journal of the National Academy of Sciences, Neuron, Neuroscience, Gene and Development, Cell Biology and Nature. 1997 won the Steven Fund Award of Stanford University. 200 1 Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Neurogen magazine in the United States, and gave lectures in Switzerland and other countries many times. In June, 5438+00, he gave a lecture in Shanghai and gave an academic report in Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In March 2005, he was elected as a HHMI researcher in the United States. At present, he is a professor at Stanford University.

Liqun Luo has made great contributions to developmental neuroscience, and his research on the establishment and maintenance of neural circuits in synaptic branches is at the leading level. He used Drosophila to discover the molecular mechanism of synaptic branching development, and found that this branching mechanism is strikingly similar to the weakening phenomenon after synaptic injury in mammals. After winning the Javits Prize, he will further study more branching factors and molecular targets affected by these factors. This will further deepen our understanding of human neurodegenerative diseases. In the third year of HKUST, Li Qun took a general education course in the first three years. Since his senior year, he has chosen "Molecular Biology of Biology Department" as his major. 1In July, 986, he graduated with excellent results and won the "Guo Moruo Scholarship" with only one place in Class Three, which was the highest honor that college students yearned for that year. In the same year, with the theme of "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology", China and the United States jointly recruited foreign students at public expense, and Li Qun took the exam on behalf of the Institute of Biochemistry. As a result, she took the exam at public expense for five years, and in the second year, she went to brandeis University, a famous university in the eastern United States, to study for a doctorate (1July, 987). After entering the cloth school, under the guidance of the famous teacher Dr. White, Liqun became interested in the mysterious function of the biological nervous system. Huang Tian rewarded all the people who worked hard, and finally finished the paper writing with the topic of "Study on the function of APPL gene", and signed it and argued deeply. He passed the interview of the school professor and received his doctorate on schedule in June 1992.

Scientific research is endless. Postdoctoral research can also be said to be advanced training in pursuit of Excellence. Li Qun's postdoctoral research base is at the University of California, San Francisco, on the west coast, in order to follow Dr. Yunong Zhan, a famous professor in China whom he admired for a long time (he and his wife were both named academicians of the American Academy of Sciences at 1996). After four years of training at the University of California, San Francisco, Li Qun has further deepened his understanding of the role of his "cranial nerve system" in animals and humans, which can be said to have reached the point of perfection. So when he finished his postdoctoral research and applied for employment, many famous schools, including Harvard, Stanford, Cornell, MIT and Berkeley, gave him interview opportunities. After many considerations, Li Qun entered Stanford University as a faculty member. Stanford hired Liqun Luo to teach at the school. There are two straightforward agreements: First, Liqun Luo's personal salary is twelve months a year, and the school is only responsible for paying for nine months. 2. In the initial stage of the laboratory, the school is willing to provide houses, furniture and $320,000 as basic personnel salaries, instruments, equipment and other start-up expenses. In addition, the rest of the wages and laboratory establishment expenses related to the shortage must be raised by themselves. These do not seem to meet reasonable preconditions. Stanford is not the only school in the United States, and other schools are similar. Liqun Luo applied for the badly needed shortage of funding in the first year by virtue of the profound strength shown in his personal scientific research records. This is a difficult problem that ordinary new teachers are struggling to solve, but Liqun Luo can easily overcome it. Li Qun is only 30 years old and has become a doctoral supervisor in a key university in the United States. In just six years, Li Qun was promoted from assistant professor to associate professor and obtained tenure. After two years, he was promoted to full professor. His rank rose so quickly, which represented the crystallization of his superhuman wisdom and dedication, and should not be taken for granted.
