Di Yu first came to Australia for the Ph.D. study of Biomedical Sciences with Prof. Carola Vinuesa and Prof. Chris Goodnow in the Australian National University (Canberra) in 2003 after completing his B.S. in Biological Sciences at Wuhan University, China. He was awarded his Ph.D. in 2007 for the research on the regulation of T-cell help to B cells in germinal centres and the role of microRNAs in autoimmunity. From 2007 to 2010, he carried out the postdoctoral research with Prof. Charles Mackay at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research (Sydney), where he continued research on the differentiation and function of follicular helper T cells and also initiated new studies on how to boost the immune system to fight cancer, supported by NHMRC training fellowship and Cancer Institute NSW early career development fellowships. Dr. Yu 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).
