In this case we were offered the opportunity to work with a molecular biologist from China whose highly specialized work focused on investigating DNA damage repair and the factors involved in tumor initiation, progression and metastasis. He had produced 9 peer-reviewed journal articles; altogether our client’s work had received no fewer than 168 citations from independent and leading researchers at prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, showing its major significance within his field.
