Tsinghua University was selected and became one of the world’s 24 host institutions and China’s first one of the Amgen Scholars Program (ASP) in September 2018. Other ASP host institutions include top universities worldwide, such as Harvard University, Stanford University and University of Cambridge. Between July 1 and August 23, 2019, 15 Tsinghua University Amgen Scholars from top universities across the world completed an eight-week summer research training session at Tsinghua University. The Amgen Scholars Program at Tsinghua University selected 15 outstanding candidates globally. They were then assigned to volunteer tutors and deeply involved in frontier research in biomedicine at Tsinghua University laboratories under the mentorship of senior researchers, post-doctoral fellows and senior doctoral candidates. Thanks to many-to-one guidance, observation and practice, these young scholars were able to sharpen their experimental skills in a short period of time, laying a solid foundation for further education and advanced scientific training. In addition, Tsinghua University also provided opportunities for Amgen Scholars to exchange with Tsinghua students,participate in academic events, experience traditional Chinese culture, and attend workshops at the National University of Singapore.
