Cheng-Ming Chuong

Cheng-Ming Chuong (Chinese: 鍾正明; born 1952) is a Taiwanese-American molecular biologist.

Education and personal life

Cheng-Ming Chuong was born in 1952.[1] His father Chong You-cheng was a 1941 graduate of Taihouku Imperial University. Chong married Lee Ming-yun, who graduated from Tokyo Women's Medical University before attending Taihouku Imperial University. Both Cheng-Ming Chuong and his elder brother Chong Cheng-fang attended National Taiwan University, Taihouku Imperial University's successor institution.[2] Cheng-Ming Chuong married Shen Wei-ping, whom he met as a student at NTU. Chuong completed a bachelor's degree in medicine in 1978, then, in 1983, earned a doctorate in developmental and molecular biology at Rockefeller University in the United States.[3][4]

Career

Following the completion of his doctoral studies, Chuong remained at Rockefeller University as an assistant professor of developmental and molecular biology until 1987, when he moved to the University of Southern California as an assistant professor of pathology. Chuong was promoted to associate professor in 1992, and became a full professor in 1998.[3] In addition to his teaching duties within the Keck School of Medicine, Chuong is also the director of graduate programs.[5][6] In Taiwan, Chuong has served as a member of the advisory committee of the Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sincia.[7] Chuong was elected to membership within Academia Sinica's division of life sciences in 2008,[4][8] and elected to fellowship within the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2014.[4][9]

Chuong specializes in the morphogenesis of bird feathers.[8][9]

gollark: I can't actually buy 10 trillion multi-terabyte hard disks and ship them to every user, you see.
gollark: I have enough storage capacity available to hold maybe 1e13 bits at home.
gollark: Even if I'm off by 6 OOM, 3.7e26 bits is *not tractable*.
gollark: The board state can be encoded in 101.4 bits. The optimal position for that board state can be encoded in a further 6 bits. This gives us 107.4 bits per state.
gollark: Interesting.
