Shu Chien is one of the people who built the foundation for @UCSanDiego's sustained success in bioengineering; the department’s grad program has ranked in the top 5 in the nation for more than two decades, and it recently ranked #1 in the nation for part of its undergrad program

The $25M gift from @BioLegend founder Gene Lay will provide support for bioengineering students, faculty and teaching in the newly named @UCSanDiego Shu Chien-Gene Lay Department of Bioengineering. Thank you for your support, Gene! And thank you for your many contributions, Shu!
