Chinese Biological Investigators Society Explained

The Chinese Biological Investigators Society (Chinese: 华人生物学家协会), the former Ray Wu Society (Chinese: 吴瑞协会),[1] is a non-profit professional organization of life sciences and education,[2] established since 1987. CBIS is an international platform for professional interactions, scientific collaborations, public communication, scocial environment, and biology education[3] for global Chinese biologists.[4] [5] [6] [7] CBIS holds conference biennially and emphasizes on biological discoveries of foundamental importance. The current president is Yingzi Yang.

History

Dr. Ray Wu's Contribution

CBI Society began in January 1998, formerly known as the Ray Wu Society,[8] which was established to honor Dr. Ray Wu's contributions in biochemistry and molecular biology[9] [10] and efforts in establishing the Sino-America science and education programs.[11] Ray Wu created the first DNA sequencing method which is still used. His foundation of Sino-America science and education program helped more 400 students in biology. Many of these students become young scientists.[12]

The voice on "Racial Profiling"

In 2019, CBIS, united other science societies, including the Society of Chinese Bioscientists in America (SCBA) and the Chinese American Hematologist and Oncologist Network (CAHON), jointly voiced the pressing concerns on racial profiling in a letter titled Racial Profiling Harms Science in Science (journal), which later attracted a widespread formal discussions among media and journals, including Los Angeles Times, Nature, University World News, inside higher ed, axios, wbur, the guardian, Higher Education, Science news, etc.[16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25]
