农学院昆虫科学研究所莫建初教授实验室博士生邓婉，于去年11月赴英国伦敦大学卫生与热带医学院联合培养半年。英国伦敦大学卫生与热带医学院(London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, LSHTM)是一所公立研究型大学，在公共健康和热带医学具有世界盛誉。
联合培养期间，邓婉在热带传染疾病系的James Logan博士团队进行学习和实验，Dr. James是LSHTM旗下防虫公司Arctec的主管及首席科学家，致力于以化学生态方法最大程度防治节肢动物传染疾病，特别在蚊虫方面获得较大进展，其成果在多个重量级学术期刊如PNAS，BMJ等上发表。邓婉在英国期间完成了部分博士课题内容，生物测定、生理生化研究等进展顺利，还运用不同的方法和技术，如WHO的国际标准生测法、离体模型Hometek薄膜喂养系统法，气相色谱及触角电位仪联用法GC-EAD等，获得相关有效数据，为进一步研究奠定了基础。
邓婉与整个团队相处愉快，彼此建立了深厚感情，此后伦敦大学与浙江大学将通过更多的合作，坚实彼此间的纽带；通过更多的交流，达到学术双赢的效果。

Dr. James简介：http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/aboutus/people/logan.james
Deng Wan, a PhD student from Prof. Mo jianchu in Insect Science Institute, Zhejiang University, went to London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) to study for about 6 months. London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is well-known for its good reputation on control of different kinds of infectious diseases, such as Dengue and Malaria. This school had been devoted to improving health and health equity in the UK and worldwide; working in partnership to achieve excellence in public and global health research, education and translation of knowledge into policy and practice.
During the placement in LSHTM for 6 months, Deng Wan was honored to be one of student in Dr. James Logan team. James, a director of a Arctec company, runs his own research group in chemical ecology and concentrates on the development of novel methods to monitor and control medically and veterinary important arthropods. The research group uses various in-house techniques, including field and laboratory-based behavioral experiments, coupled GC-EAG, coupled GC-single-cell (GC-SSR) and analytical chemistry (including GC). These technical capabilities and equipment had helped her obtained a lot of valid data, which will greatly benefit her PhD research. Except of work she had done in LSHTM, she also spent a wonderful life in Logan team. Everyone did his or her best to help her, no matter at work or in life. The mutual exchanges and sharing of learning among the academic groups can greatly promote the progress of the studies. Therefore we believe that by doing this, both sides will benefit.
