FANG WeijiaDirector
Biography
I am currently Chief Physician and Director of Department of Medical Oncology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine. My primary research focus lies in leading both clinical trials and translational research in cellular immunotherapy. This dual focus ensures that our clinical work is informed by mechanistic insights, and our laboratory discoveries are grounded in and guided by real-world patient data. In the realm of clinical research, I lead a substantial portfolio of early-phase trials. Serving as Principal Investigator for over ten registered and investigator-initiated clinical studies in solid tumor cellular therapy, I have overseen the enrollment of more than 170 patients
Based on my foundational work in clinical and translational research, I hosted 2 General Programs of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, 2 sub-projects of the Key Research and Development Program of the Ministry of Science and Technology, 2 key sub-projects of the 2030 Major Project, and 3 Key Research and Development Projects in Zhejiang Province. Moving forward, I remain committed to advancing this virtuous cycle of clinical-translational integration.
