Di Yu (Ph.D.) received his B.S. from Wuhan University in 2001. He carried out doctoral study with Prof. Carola G. Vinuesa and Prof. Christopher C. Goodnow in the Australian National University (Canberra, Australia), where he investigated the regulation of T-cell help to B cells in germinal centres. He received his Ph.D. in 2007 and subsequently carried out his postdoctoral research with Prof. Charles R. Mackay at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research (Sydney, Australia), focusing on the differentiation and function of follicular helper T cells. In 2010, he was selected as Monash Fellow and appointed as Senior Research Fellow by Monash University (Melbourne, Australia). His research team will investigate the molecular mechanisms of immune responses with the focus to design new strategies to modulate the immune system to treat autoimmune diseases and cancer.
Dr Di Yu’s key publications include first-authored papers (Nature. 2007, 450(7167):299-303 and Immunity. 2009, 31(3):457-68) and co-authored papers (Nature. 2009, 461(7268):1282-6 and Nature. 2005, 435(7041):452-8). He is a recipient of the Excellence Award from Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (2010), the Frank Fenner Medal from the Australian National University (2008), the International Research Award from the Australian Society for Medical Research (2007) and the New Investigator Award from the Australasian Society for Immunology (2006).
