For recent PhD life science graduate Menglong Zeng, the past 12 months have seen the fulfilment of the hopes and dreams he had when in 2011 he joined the Zhang Lab@HKUST, led by world-renowned structural biologist Prof Mingjie Zhang.
Menglong became the lead author of breakthrough research published in Cell, a top scientific journal. He and his family celebrated his graduation at the University’s breathtaking coastal campus in Hong Kong. Not keen to leave the place he has called home for the past five years – or the girlfriend he found at HKUST – the high flyer also secured a post-doctoral fellowship to continue his ground-breaking studies at the University.
