In this special issue, we recognise the work of Dr Mien-Chie Hung on EGFR biology and Dr Yingzi Yang on Wnt signalling, based on their award lectures at the Society of Chinese Bioscientists in America (SCBA) biennial meeting in Guangzhou, China, in 2011. Dr Hung is winner of the 2011 SCBA Presidential Award and Dr Yang is winner of the 2011 SCBA Outstanding Young Investigator Award.
