生命科学家吴军称中国已成为全球胚胎研究的重要中心
China is a beacon of global embryo research, says scientist on return from US to lead lab
生命科学家吴军从美国回到中国，出任西湖大学干细胞生物学与再生医学讲席教授，并认为全球许多顶尖胚胎研究人员如今在中国工作。他以干细胞研究、尤其是干细胞衍生胚胎模型研究闻名，此前任职于德克萨斯大学西南医学中心。
Leading life scientist Wu Jun, who recently left the United States to return to his homeland, believes many of the world’s top embryo researchers are now working in China.
Wu, well known for his stem cell research, particularly related to the stem cell-derived embryo model, is speaking in an office at Westlake University, in Hangzhou in the eastern province of Zhejiang. Some of his belongings remain in bags placed haphazardly on a nearby cabinet, waiting to be unpacked.
“This is just a temporary office; my lab and office are still being set up,” Wu said.

Why are more Chinese scientists leaving the US to return to China?
He officially joined his new institution as chair professor of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine a month ago despite being promoted to a tenured professorship at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Centre (UT Southwestern) earlier this year.
His former employer made sincere efforts to retain him, including considering a counter-offer, but he politely declined.
