@world_epidemic Congratulations Prof!!!

Finally find my "chair" after spending 20-odd years in researching virus. My career has been guided and supported by my good friends, collaborators, colleagues, students and mentors. I just feel I am an exceptional lucky person who can work with so many people with a big heart.
