As an impressionable sophomore at East China Normal University in Shanghai, Joe Tsien knew he was interested in biology, but he wasn't sure how he wanted to focus his studies.

There, he says, "I only saw beakers and a half-broken centrifuge" that jumped around the benchtop as the rotor spun. "That really turned me off."
