YCIS Alumnus Develops Largest Open Science Drug-COVID Moonshot

"A scientist should explore the world like an ignorant child constantly seeking knowledge and answers. Don’t be afraid of asking questions. Asking a good question is better than finding a good answer – not just in science but in life. This is the most memorable lesson YCIS taught me."

— Alpha Lee, YCIS Hong Kong alumnus

▲Alpha Lee's path to scientific discovery

As COVID-19 began to race across the globe in March last year, US and UK-based Alpha Lee, a Group Leader at the Department of Physics, University of Cambridge, was working from home when a tweet caught his eye. The scientific research team at Diamond Light Source, the UK’s national synchrotron science facility, screened out molecular fragments that could bind to the main protease of SARS-CoV-2. This particular protein is known to be one of the most promising protein drug targets in the development of antivirals.

It occurred to Alpha that although he was at home with several research projects shelved, there were thousands of chemists out there struggling to develop solutions. He realised he could help accelerate the process at low cost. A few months ago in the US, he became co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of PostEra, a company that employs artificial intelligence algorithms to predict chemical synthesis and speed up the drug discovery process.

Thus his ‘COVID Moonshot’ project was born (www.postera.ai/covid). To date, scientists from all over the world have submitted more than 15,000 molecular tweak suggestions and 1,617 of these are undergoing synthesis or testing.

▲Alpha with PostEra's founding team

Moonshot has at its disposal the world’s fastest supercomputer, state of the art artificial intelligence algorithms and a mission-driven team of scientists. Alpha points out that Moonshot’s potential success is rooted in “open-source data and zero restrictions on patents or intellectual property.”

"We are all working to help as many people as possible, in a time of global crisis. Everyone is willing to share their data, as well as their successes and failures."

When asked about the source of his focus and deep sense of responsibility, Alpha smilingly points to his alma mater: “I spent my full primary and secondary life at YCIS Hong Kong. You can say YCIS nurtured my passion for science and humanity.

The art of asking questions

Talking about Moonshot, Alpha’s thoughts drift back to 2003 and the SARS episode. As a student at YCIS Hong Kong, he listened intently to his teachers and always reminded himself to wash his hands frequently. But he always wondered what more he could have done.

▲Alpha taken at his YCIS graduation with Dr Betty Chan Po-king, CEO & School Supervisor of YCYW

A turning point appeared in Year 6, when a new teaching method was introduced to the classroom. Mr Paul Humphrey, Alpha’s class teacher, arranged a research project to let students gather material on their own and then bring their findings and thoughts back to the classroom for shared discussion. The question-led, enquiry-based approach had Alpha fired up. He still remembers Mr Humphrey’s cautionary message: never chase others while conducting research. Challenge yourself at every turn and focus on self-improvement.

Things turned brighter when Alpha entered the secondary section with a new interest in chemistry. He was fortunate enough to meet another mentor, Dr Bo-Long Poh, a retired professor who taught Chemistry. Alpha was so fascinated by the mysteries of chemistry that he spent his lunchtime chasing after Dr Poh. His questions covered a range of topics including his teacher’s research field – supramolecular chemical synthesis.

“Many questions look simple but they are not when you dig deeper. Don’t worry about not being able to find immediate answers. Maintaining your enthusiasm and asking questions is the most important thing.” Alpha recalls that Dr Poh never rushed to give simple answers but instead encouraged Alpha to get to the bottom of things himself. He learned a great deal more in the process. “He inspired me to become a scholar,” says Alpha, “and I try to inculcate this passion in my students.”

In Dr Poh, Alpha encountered not only a genuine scientific spirit in pursuit of the truth, but also lessons for character. Dr Poh was a role model who willingly sacrificed his time for his students. “At Yew Chung, science, humanities and character education are always closely linked,” says Alpha.

The quest for open-source solutions

Alpha’s passion for chemistry started with his curiosity over simple phenomena like fire and bubbles. Later he came to realise how from biomedicine to plastic materials, so many things in daily life are controlled or created by chemical reactions. “I wish to help a lot of people through chemistry,” he says. This is what led him to physics and mathematical tools.

In 2013, Alpha graduated from Imperial College London with First Class Honours in Chemistry. He then furthered his studies at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford and received an MSc in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing, with Distinction. He got his DPhil (PhD) in Applied Mathematics in 2015 and worked at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University, as Fulbright Scholar and George F Carrier Fellow. Since 2017, he has led his own research group at the University of Cambridge to develop interdisciplinary work on medicinal chemistry, material physics and machine learning.

From a small research group with a couple of people to collaboration with hundreds of scientists worldwide, Alpha has seen his work grow and take shape. He is delighted at the efficient and truly global “division of labour” that has become the “new normal” via online meetings.

What upsets Alpha is that the pharmaceutical industry essentially abandoned antiviral drug discovery against coronaviruses after the SARS crises was over. He has scoured international journals (from 2003 to 2004) with their intriguing studies on SARS in order to spot potential COVID-19 solutions for Moonshot.

▲A map of the global contributors of Moonshot

“If the pharmaceutical industry had kept up with their research, there would be no COVID-19 today and so many lives would have been saved. After MERS-CoV in 2010 the same mistake was repeated, We can’t make the same mistake again.” said Alpha.

Alpha hopes the paradigm shift towards “open science” will help decouple commercial interests from investment in health so that more antiviral drugs and antibiotics can be created. 

To control the COVID-19 pandemic and prevent future ones, we need vaccines, medications and public health measures. I hope that COVID Moonshot will contribute towards seeding an infrastructure for non-profit antiviral drug discovery.

We trust that the lifelong inquisitive profile cultivated in our YCYW alumni will realise breakthrough for humanity in the near future.

1200+ YCYW Educators Meet for E-learning Development

To highlight and promote good practices in teaching, Yew Chung and Yew Wah held an "E-Learning Professional Development Days" event on November 27-28, 2020. Speaking at the opening, CEO and School Supervisor Dr Betty Chan Po-king, described the changes sweeping education the world over as “unprecedented". “It is up to us to adapt our educational practices to ensure that our students can learn successfully using 21st century tools at our disposal,” she said.


Dr Betty Chan Po-king

Over 1,200 Chinese and Western teachers and principals from 12 schools (YCIS and YWIES) joined the sessions organised by the Curriculum and Professional Development Division (CPDD). There were three keynote speakers who set the tone and a further 98 elective workshops designed by our educators to break down the issues.


Dr Bob Horton, the education director of YCYW, serves as MC of the first day


Dr Lam Tung-fei serves as MC of the second day

On the first day – focusing on online and blended teaching – participants exchanged experiences of their journeys that changed course in unprecedented ways from January on.

We invited two keynote speakers, Professor Nicki Hedge, Professor of Educational Theory and Research at the University of Glasgow, and Professor Nancy Law, Deputy Director, Centre for Information Technology in Education (CITE), Faculty of Education, The University of Hong Kong.


Professor Nicki Hedge

Drawing upon her experience in England, Professor Hedge underlined the importance of “trust”. She rated this on par with technology adoption.

In these uncertain times, she said, it was important that educators placed trust in themselves and their colleagues. At the same time, they needed to understand and respond to learner vulnerabilities. Striking an optimistic note, Professor Hedge suggested that the investment in trust and sharing today would enable the development of enhanced pedagogical approaches in the pursuit of deeper learning and smarter teaching for the future.


Professor Nancy Law

Professor Law used research data to provide insight into blended teaching that has become the “new normal”. She shared the findings of her recently published research project – “eCitizen Education 360” – on the impact of school suspension on students, teachers and schools in Hong Kong.

The study looks at factors that contribute to online learning preparedness when it comes to schools and teachers. She found that the key to the success of e-learning lay beyond institution walls. Family support in fostering a learning environment was that critical ingredient. That support from the home combined with a multidisciplinary approach and intuitive leadership at schools are what underpin the new structure.

The 60 intensive workshops on the first day covered four main themes: tools and class strategies; curriculum planning and development; management view and reflections; well-being and community building.

Teachers introduced and shared their thoughts on useful software, like ClassIn, Zoom, Seesaw, Ding Ding (Ding Talk), Padlet and Teams. Along with this, differentiated learning, flipped education, critical thinking and our unique Learning Communities were thoroughly investigated. Principals talked about the growing and essential cooperation between schools and parents as well as among school departments to coordinate effort to achieve macro objectives.

Yew Chung and Yew Wah place great faith in their teachers’ self-motivation, professionalism and willingness to share. All workshop hosts were either staff recommended by the principals or teachers who volunteered to host.

Chief Education Officer Dr Troy Lui offered a pat on the back for the diligent group leaders. “The hosts of our workshops include experienced Master Teachers and also young teachers. Every teacher can apply for host, regardless of qualification and experience,” he said. His conclusion? The best way to encourage teacher development is through exchange and interaction.

The themes of the workshops on the second day were “Learning Chinese” and “Learning with Chinese”, a subtle but important distinction. The participants included 350 Chinese teachers. The diversity and depth of the workshops showcased the strength of our Chinese curriculum.

Well thought out technical support for the event made all the conversations and exchanges across the globe possible.

As Dr Lam Tung-fei, one of the co-ordinators of the event put it, “The scale and format [of this event] is unprecedented in our organisation.”

“With over a thousand people joining online, we had no big technical problems,” Dr Lui pointed out. “The event ran smoothly. We thank our IT colleagues and the co-ordinators in CPDD.”

Providing a summation and the note to end the occasion, Professor Paul Yip Kwok-wah, Chairman of Hong Kong Yew Wah International Education Foundation, shared his experiences over the past 60 years. He focused on the role of teachers and recalled the inspirational founding of Yew Wah.


Professor Paul Yip Kwok-wah

He encouraged teachers to make reading a lifelong hobby and to nurture Yew Chung and Yew Wah students to enable them to develop into outstanding citizens. Students have to be imbued with a strong humanistic spirit and the ability to think out of the box.

In this new age it is important to master technology without being defined or limited by it, he concluded.

Awards for excellence in human endeavour

Ms Diana Tsui, Chief Institutional Development and Marketing Officer‘s message for the YCYW community

This has been a challenging year. The unexpected 2020 Covid-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to teaching and learning. Yet, we have had a fruitful start to the academic year.

This year’s Founder’s Day was particularly meaningful for our alumni communities as we presented our first YCYW Alumni Hall of Fame Award. This is to honour distinguished alumni who demonstrate the values of Yew Chung and Yew Wah as ethical, caring and loving global citizens. Our founder Madam Tsang Chor-hang, a remarkable education pioneer and a woman well ahead of her times, believed adversity builds character. And so it is as we tackle Covid and press on with our lives.

We couldn’t be more proud of Chelsea Chen (YWIES Shanghai Gubei, Class of 2015), a brilliant young film maker who constantly reminds us global issues are relevant to all of us. There’s Aaron Shea (YCIS Hong Kong, Class of 1998), an outstanding entrepreneur, who has mobilised resources to develop YCCECE and been a mentor to students. Then there’s Mika Ulmet (YCIS Shanghai Puxi, Class of 2010), a devoted volunteer, who helps raise awareness on food security and environment by traveling to the most under developed countries. Their leadership has been inspirational and helped make the world a better place.

Our alumni networks for Yew Chung and Yew Wah schools and the College have developed a strong bond between graduates and our philanthropic culture has encouraged the habit of giving back through donations and volunteering our time.

The year 2020 has been a tumultuous passage. Yet, the pandemic has brought out the best in us. It has strengthened our resolve to serve our community, whose wonderful support has helped carry us forward. As a strong alumni group we will continue to make a positive impact on the world around us.

Hong Kong Alumni Chapter Says Hello

Following in the footstep of the Shanghai Alumni Chapter established earlier this year, we are excited to announce the launch of the Hong Kong Chapter!

This chapter has been formed by a group of committed young professionals, who are keen to serve and promote the YCYW alumni community in the city. Through hosting a range of events and services, they plan to build a strong community network in Hong Kong to connect alumni, students, staff and their alma mater.
