Chih-Ying Su

Chih-Ying Su, a celebrated neurobiologist known for her research on the sense of smell using fruit flies and mosquitoes, has recently relocated from the United States to China. She previously held a faculty vice-chair position at the University of California San Diego. Professor Su's lab is recognized for its work on how olfactory receptor neurons process odor information. Her move to the Shenzhen Academy of Medical Sciences (SMART) marks a significant development in her career and potentially in the field of olfactory research in China. Su's expertise in neurobiology, particularly concerning sensory processing, makes her a notable figure in scientific circles. Her transition from a prominent US institution to a Chinese research academy highlights international scientific collaborations and talent mobility.
