As a trained neuroscientist and immunologist, Brian Leung’s professional interest include domestic and global biosecurity and biotechnology. He received his B.S. in Chemistry from Drexel University and his PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Southern California. Furthermore, he has received additional training in Immunology at the University of Zurich and continued his post-doctoral work on disease genetics in Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Given his global experience, pandemic-related issues remain as one of his many biosecurity interests, however his short-term goals are to specialize on the intersection of climate change, human health, and science diplomacy. By filling in this knowledge gap as an AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow and Belmont Forum Secretariat, Brian hopes to learn from diverse intergovernmental projects and foster collaboration on issues related to science diplomacy, biosecurity, human health, and climate change.
