Weihong Tan 谭蔚泓

Picture
Professor Weihong Tan (谭蔚泓) was Distinguished Professor and V. T. and Louise Jackson Professor of Chemistry at the University of Florida (UF).  He was the principal investigator of the Tan Research Group at UF and well recognized for work in chemical biology, molecular engineering, and bionanotechnology. 

Professor Tan was subjected to NIH and FBI investigations about disclosures and left UF in 2019.  He is now Vice President of Hunan Univeristy leading a research team focused on developing a fast, easy COVID-19 test at Hunan University.

Professor Tan's experience exemplifies a "reverse brain drain" as a consequence of profiling against Chinese American scientists.
