My name is Weiru Chang and I was born in Fujian Province, China. My family immigrated to America when I was 10. I earned my BS in Cell Biology from the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign and my Ph.D. (cell, genetics, and developmental biology) from University of Washington and University of Minnesota. I have been a community college Biology Faculty for over 20 years at Minneapolis Community and Technical College and Estrella Mountain Community College.  I teach anatomy and physiology and general biology.
