Lieping Chen

Lieping Chen is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Lieping Chen rather than just read about it. In short: Lieping Chen (Chinese: 陳列平; born 1960) is a Chinese-American immunologist and physician-scientist. Life and career Chen was born in Fuzhou, and graduated with a medical degree from Fujian Medical College in 1982, a master's of science degree in immunology from Peking Union Medical College in 1986, and a doctorate in pathology and laboratory medicine from Drexel University in 1989.

Key takeaways

Lieping Chen belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Lieping Chen to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Lieping Chen from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Lieping Chen (Chinese: 陳列平; born 1960) is a Chinese-American immunologist and physician-scientist.

Life and career Chen was born in Fuzhou, and graduated with a medical degree from Fujian Medical College in 1982, a master's of science degree in immunology from Peking Union Medical College in 1986, and a doctorate in pathology and laboratory medicine from Drexel University in 1989. After completing postdoctoral research at the University of Washington, Chen was a research scientist at Bristol Myers Squibb until 1997. Subsequently, Chen worked for the Mayo Clinic. Chen began his teaching career at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 2004, and joined the Yale University School of Medicine in 2010. At Yale, Chen holds the United Technologies Corporation Professorship in Cancer Research. Chen's research has led to the establishment of several companies, including the Amplimmune Biotechnology Company (which was acquired by MedImmune in 2013), NextCure, and Normunity. Since 2018, Chen has been a member of the scientific advisory board of Zai Laboratory. In 2014, Chen shared the William B. Coley Award for Distinguished Research in Tumor Immunology. In 2017, he was a joint recipient of the Warren Alpert Foundation Prize. The following year, Chen was named a Giant of Cancer Care and elected a member of Taiwan's Academia Sinica. In 2021, he was elected a fellow of the American Association for Cancer Research as well as the United States National Academy of Sciences. In 2022, Chen was elected to the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Lieping Chen

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Lieping Chen claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Lieping Chen before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Lieping Chen ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Lieping Chen

In research: Lieping Chen appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Lieping Chen in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Lieping Chen is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1960 births, 21st-century American businesspeople, 21st-century Chinese businesspeople, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Lieping Chen outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
