\u201cThe most important discoveries that I\u2019ve made have all come from nowhere,\u201d said Qi-Long Ying, associate professor of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine at USC. \u201cThey could not be planned.\u201d
\nTo foster this spirit of unexpected discovery, Chinese biotechnology entrepreneur Min Zhou has given an unrestricted gift of $500,000 to Ying\u2019s lab, which studies how stem cells self-renew or differentiate into many specialized cell types.
\nZhou has chosen to provide unrestricted support for this pioneering research, because of her first-hand understanding of the serendipitous nature of early scientific discovery. She is both a medical doctor who has performed postdoctoral research at UCLA, and the founder of Kedgene Biology, a biotech company developing therapies for cancer and other diseases.\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cI hope that our gift can help a distinguished scientist like Professor Qi-Long Ying accelerate breakthrough findings in stem cell research,\u201d said Zhou. \u201cI hope that human beings can benefit from such scientific endeavors as soon as possible.\u201d
\nThroughout his career, Ying has built an impressive track record of unexpected discoveries, including finding a way to grow embryonic stem cells in a Petri dish using a specific mixture of chemicals, and producing genetically modified rats for studying human diseases.
\n\u201cFor this type of high-risk and high-reward research, it\u2019s very difficult to get NIH grant funding,\u201d said Ying. \u201cAnd that\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to get support from philanthropists like Min Zhou. This type of unrestricted support allows us to explore any area that we think is important.\u201d<\/p>\n
