Yunlong Richard Cao Chinese:曹云龙; pinyin: Cáo Yúnlóng) is a Chinese immunologist and assistant professor at Peking University's Biomedical Pioneering Innovation Center (BIOPIC).[1][2] Known for his work on SARS-CoV-2 evolution and antibody responses, Cao has made significant contributions to understanding humoral immunity and developing antibody therapeutics.[3][4]His research focuses on B-cell mediated adaptive immune response, antibody drugs, and vaccine design.[5] Cao gained international recognition for his ability to predict SARS-CoV-2 mutations and was named one of Nature's "Ten People Who Mattered" in 2022 for his role in tracking the evolution of the virus.[6] He was also listed as one of the "Innovators under 35" by the MIT Technology Review in 2021.[7]
Education and career
Cao completed his undergraduate studies in Physics at Zhejiang University, graduating in 2014. He then went on to earn a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Harvard University in 2019 while under the research direction of Prof. Xiaoliang Sunney Xie.[1] Following his Ph.D, he came back to China and became a Research Associate at Biomedical Pioneering Innovation Center (BIOPIC), Peking University. In 2023, Cao started an independent laboratory as assistant professor.[1][2][8]
