Wah Chiu (Chinese: 趙華) is a Hong Kong-born American biophysicist, currently the Wallenberg-Bienenstock Chair Professor in the department of bioengineering, department of microbiology and immunology and the Photon Science Directorate of SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford University. He is a Stanford Bio-X affiliated Faculty.[1] He was formerly the Distinguished Service Professor and the Alvin Romansky Chair Professor at Baylor College of Medicine[2][3] where he was the founding director of the National Center for Biomolecular Imaging,[4] and has been active in the new cryo-EM techniques allowing much higher-resolution structures of large molecular complexes such as viruses [5][6][7] and chaperonin.[8][9]
