Programme for Gifted Youngsters, at Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

medicine, acupuncture, he also studied conventional medicine, covering physiology,
pathology, pharmacology, diagnosis, and treatment of various diseases.

hospital of Shandong University of TCM for one-year further study. Then, in September 1998,
he started his Master’s programme in Shandong University of TCM where he continued his
research on rheumatology and immunology.

studied intensively with his supervisor, Professor Shi Jin, a famous expert in hepatology and
rheumatology. During his PhD programme, because of his excellent achievement, he won a
scholarship from Hongkong Qiu Shi Science and Technologies Foundation in 2003. This
foundation aims to encourage accomplished scholars and promote the development of science
and technology in China. Later he received his PhD in July 2004.

treat those who need medical service. In July 2002, Dr Yu, as a doctoral student, attended a
seminar in China Medical University in Taiwan, promoting the communication between TCM
professionals of Taiwan and China mainland.

researchers in the research - treating active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with the method of
'clearing heat resolving dampness removing blood-stasis tonifying kidney', a program which won
the third prize of Shandong Provincial Technology Progress Reward in 1999. In 2001, he also co-
edited the book 'Diagnosis and Treatment of Rheumatic Diseases with the Integration of TCM
and conventional Medicine.'

areas of the UK such as Manchester, Sale Cheshire, Sheffield, London and Northern Ireland. As
