Editorial

We are very pleased to announce that two research groups, who each published an outstanding research article in Cell & Bioscience in 2011, have been selected to receive the Ming K Jeang Award for Excellence in Cell & Bioscience. The Ming K Jeang Award for Excellence in Cell & Bioscience was established in 2011 with a generous donation from the Ming K Jeang Foundation to honor outstanding research articles published in Cell & Bioscience, the official journal of the Society of Chinese Bioscientists in America (SCBA; http://www.scbasociety.org). A committee of Cell & Bioscience Editors, chaired by Dr Chris Lau, considered all research articles published in the journal in 2011 and produced a short list of 4 articles. The committee then voted the following two articles to receive the award [1,2]:

DNA vaccines delivered by human papillomavirus pseudovirions as a promising approach for generating antigen-specific CD8+ T cell immunity
