Yung-chi Cheng (traditional Chinese: 鄭永齊; pinyin: Zhèng Yǒngqí; born December 29, 1944) is a Taiwanese-American pharmacologist.[1] He is the Henry Bronson Professor of Pharmacology at Yale University, where he is the director of the Cheng laboratory at the Yale School of Medicine devoted to the study of antiviral drugs, and chairman of the Consortium for the Globalization of Chinese Medicine (CGCM).[2]
Early life and education
[edit]Cheng was born in England on December 29, 1944, and later moved back to Taiwan.[3] After graduating from Tunghai University in 1966 with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in chemistry and biology, Cheng went to Canada and studied for a year at the University of Guelph.[4]
Because his wife was a graduate student at Brown University, Cheng decided to transfer to Brown and pursue graduate studies in the United States.[4] He spent his first two years at Brown University studying medicine before earning a Ph.D. in biochemical pharmacology in 1972 from the university,[4] where he had been a research associate under professor R.E. Parks that same year. From September 1972 to June 1973, he was a postdoctoral researcher under pharmacologist William Prusoff at the Yale School of Medicine.[5]
Career
[edit]In 1994, Cheng was elected a member of Academia Sinica.[3]
