报告人简介:

Dr. Weier received a B.S. degree (Vordiplom) in physics from the University of Hannover, Hannover, Germany, and a M.S. (Diplom) as well as a Ph.D. degree (Dr. rer. nat.) with specialization in biophysics and laser physics from the same university. In 1986-1987, while being a career scientist at the GSF-Forschungszentrum fur Umwelt und Gesundheit GmbH, Muenchen (a German Federal Research Center now called ‘Helmholtz Zentrum Muenchen’), he went on sabbatical leave to continue his studies of flow cytometry sorting and high-throughput cell analysis at the U.S. Dept. of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Lab (LLNL) in Livermore, California. Following a short postdoctoral training at the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Weier continued to work as Postdoctoral Fellow and then Biomedical Scientist at LLNL. From 1991 to 1994, Dr. Weier was Specialist, Step IV, in the Department of Laboratory Medicine, UCSF, and since 1994 holds a position as Staff Biophysicist in the Life Sciences Division, E.O. Lawrence Berkeley Natl. Laboratory, in Berkeley, CA. He is a previous Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), the Immediate-Past President of the Histochemical Society, USA, and member several other professional organizations and editorial boards. Dr. Weier published well over 150 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters in the field of molecular cytogenetics, and is named inventor on a number of patents filed on behalf of the Regents of the University of California in the US and abroad. His research interests include molecular cytogenetics, human reproduction and studies of endocrine tumors.



Dr. Zeng received a B.S. degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Nankai University, China, and a Ph.D. degree with specialization in Genetics from the same university. Dr. Zeng’s doctoral research focused on the genetic differences between male and female Artemia sinica (Brine Shrimp) in molecular level. Now she is in postdoctoral training at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (part of Department of Energy of the United States and University of California), studying cytogenetic abnormality in tumor cells.
