Program introduction

In November 2018, Amgen Foundation expanded the Amgen Scholars Program (ASP) to 24 premier educational and research institutions worldwide. Tsinghua University was selected as the first and currently the only host institution in China and is now accepting global applications.

The ASP host institutions for 2019-2023 include 24 leading universities worldwide, such as Harvard University, Stanford University and University of Cambridge. There are four distinguished hosts in Asia: The University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University. As the ASP’s first and only host institution in China, Tsinghua will fully leverage its world-class research capabilities and talents, while working closely with the Amgen Foundation, to offer high-potential and high-caliber young scholars the opportunity to participate in frontier research.

2023 Tsinghua ASP

The Tsinghua ASP will select around 25 candidates this year, whom will be paired with voluntary mentors upon enrollment. They will have the opportunity to participate in frontier biomedical research projects with state-of-the-art lab facilities, alongside senior scientists and top Tsinghua faculty. These immersive and intensive trainings will help scholars enhance their experimental skills, gain hands-on lab experiences and build a solid foundation for their further development.

In addition, the Amgen Scholars will be encouraged to interact with Tsinghua students and attend a variety of seminars, symposiums and networking events both at Tsinghua and in other host institutions.

In recent years, Tsinghua University has been actively seeking to cultivate diversified talents and facilitate international collaborations. It has made significant progress in innovation-driven talent development. As Tsinghua’s main correspondent collaborator for the ASP, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Tsinghua University (Tsinghua SPS), plays an important role in the university’s life sciences development and frontier biomedical research. The ASP will serve as the first of many future collaborations between Tsinghua University and the Amgen Foundation.
