FiDiPro Professor Holland Cheng joins the Department of Signal Processing
FiDiPro Professor Holland Cheng will bring his expertise in electron microscopy to the Department of Signal Processing at Tampere University of Technology (TUT) for the next four years.
The Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation Tekes has granted the Department of Signal Processing at TUT and the University of Jyväskylä funding for the establishment of a professorship within the framework of the Finland Distinguished Professor Programme FiDiPro. The universities are delighted to welcome the newly appointed FiDiPro Professor Holland Cheng from the University of California, USA, to Finland.
Professor Holland Cheng is an internationally renowned scholar and a leading authority in electron microscopy. The aim of Prof. Cheng’s FiDiPro project is to develop novel oral vaccines against enterovirus infections. These new vaccines will give optimal immune response and give hope to patients suffering from acute and chronic diseases, such as diabetes and asthma.
The Finnish host organizations of Prof. Cheng’s four-year FiDiPro appointment are the Department of Signal Processing at Tampere University of Technology and the Department of Biological and Environmental Science at the University of Jyväskylä.
