Dr Jianfeng Guo has been granted the 2011 Chinese Government Award for Outstanding self-financed students abroad by China Scholarship Council (CSC).
This award was founded by the Chinese government in 2003 with the purpose of rewarding the academic excellence of self financed Chinese students studying overseas. Only those with outstanding performance in their PhD studies are considered by the award selection panel and no more than 500 young talented graduates are granted the award each year all over the world.
The School of Pharmacy is very proud of this achievement by Dr Guo. He arrived in UCC in 2005 where he first studied an MSc Degree in Biotechnology. He went on to undertake a PhD under the supervision of Professor Caitriona O’Driscoll where he secured an IRCSET scholarship. The title of Dr Guo’s PhD was “Non viral delivery of siRNA for prostate cancer therapy”.
The School of Pharmacy is delighted that Dr Guo received such recognition from the Chinese Scholarship Council.
