Since Professor Yang taught in the School of Life Science and Technology in Huazhong University of Science and Technology, her leading group have cultivated many excellent undergraduates, which determined that she was continuously praised“ the excellent research advisor in undergraduates’ technical innovative activities in 2008 and in 2009”. Among them, Shi Xudian, enrolled in 2003 won the first prize in Hubei good undergraduate thesis competition for his thesis ”the Selection of High-yield Acetobacter Xylinum and Optimized Culture Conditions”, being the PHD candidate in our group. Wanggang, enrolled in 2003, was recommended to work in Sunson Industry Group Co., LTD. after gaining the master degree in 2009. Enrolled in 2005, Wang Wei and Xiao Lin won the second prize and the third prize in second ”Qiushi Cup” competition in technical works respectively. The former worked in Shanghai-Janssen after graduation while the latter is the master degree candidate in our lab. Enrolled in 2006, Duan Zhaojun won the second prize in the second “Qiushi Cup” undergraduates’ extracurricular academic competition in technical works for ”the Research of the New Artificial Skin with the Bacterial Cellulose” while Wang Daming won the first prize in the seventh ”Qiushi Cup” Hubei extracurricular academic competition and the second prize in the eleventh” Challenge Cup” national extracurricular academic competition for “the Research of Biominic Magnetotactic Microorganism. ”, being praised “the Model in Technical Innovative Activities in 08-09
In addition, many excellent undergraduates from our research group did or will pursue their further development in some famous Chinese institutes or some overseas colleges. Among them, Huang Yuzhan enrolled in 2004, Chen Xufeng enrolled in 2005, are the graduates in Fudan University and Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry, Chinese Academy of Science respectively. Enrolled in 2006, Lu Yudong would be the graduate in Suzhou Institute of Nanotechnology, Chinese Academy of Science while Chen Li and Duan Zhaojun would enter the Peking University. Besides, Li Xin is in University of Nottingham, UK, Yang Zidong is in George Washington University, USA and Wang Xinyi will be in University of Delaware, USA.
Students in our research group have also attained achievements in the application of National University Students’ Innovative Experiments Design Programs. We have continuously successfully applied for the projects in these three years: “the Innovative Research of Magnetotactic Microorgan ” from Wang Daming, Xiang Shunian and Zhong Jianlin (Completed); “the Research of Artificial Blood Vessels with Nano-cellulose” from Chen Hua, Lu Yudong and Zang Shanshan (Completed); “the Research of the New PLA/Modified Cellulose Composite” (Processing). The passed achievements are impressive and we believe that with the exploring spirit, we could easily culture more and more excellent undergraduates attaining success.
