Charles Lieber, a US chemist previously convicted for concealing his financial ties to China, has accepted a faculty position at Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School in China. He aims to contribute to humanity through research and mentoring, stating a need to leave the US due to restrictions on his work. Lieber previously faced legal troubles for receiving undisclosed funding from a Chinese university and misleading US authorities about his affiliations. His move may reflect a larger trend of scientists seeking more open environments to conduct research.
Lieber stated he is 'driven to do work that benefits all of humanity,' expressing his desire to continue supporting scientific innovation in China.
The University confirmed Lieber's addition to the faculty, emphasizing his expertise in nanoscience and the potential impact of his research at SIGS.
