The list of winners of Yang Zhenning Lifetime Achievement Award 2019 truth seeking award ceremony wa

Recently, the 2019 Qiushi prize awarding ceremony hosted by the Hong Kong Qiushi science and technology foundation was held at Tsinghua University on the evening of the 21st. Nobel physics laureate Yang Zhenning was awarded the 'Qiushi Lifetime Achievement Award', becoming the second scientist to win this award. Yan Ning Shaofeng won the outstanding scientist award, and Gaofu team won the collective Award for outstanding scientific and technological achievements.

On the 25th anniversary of the founding of Qiushi science and technology foundation, the five winners delivered a five minute speech on the award, which was a special moment for Yang Zhenning, because he was 97 years old. In 1993, at Mr. Cha Maosheng's home, Yang Zhenning discussed the establishment of this award with several scientists such as Chen Shengshen. He participated in the award ceremonies of Qiushi award. This time, he won the award. Cha Maosheng, chairman of Qiushi foundation, personally presented the award to Yang Zhenning, with a bonus of 3 million yuan.

In his speech, Mr. Cha Maosheng first thanked Yang Zhenning for his contribution and example in the development of the foundation. He said: "Mr. Yang Zhenning is my father's most respected scientist and my half teacher and half friend. In a fashionable word, I am his & lsquo; Fans & rsquo

The winner of the Qiushi outstanding scientist award is also admirable. He is Shao Feng, a researcher of the Beijing Academy of life sciences. He is the youngest academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is the most original young biologist rising in China and can be called a model of Chinese young scientists. Shao Feng graduated from the Department of Technical Physics of Peking University in 1996, graduated from the Institute of biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1999 with a master's degree, obtained a doctor's degree from the school of medicine of the University of Michigan in 2003, completed postdoctoral training in the medical school of Harvard University in 2005, and was introduced back to China by the Beijing Institute of life sciences in 2005 as the research leader and doctoral supervisor.

The reason why Shao Feng won the prize is that he found many receptors and mechanisms of host cytoplasmic anti-bacterial natural immunity by using biochemical, structural biology, cell biology and other means, redefined the concept of cell scorch death, and opened a new direction of inflammation and immunity research. Shao Feng's discovery provides a new way to explore the prevention and treatment of bacterial infection and related diseases.

Shao Feng has won three domestic awards this year, including future science award, Tan Jiazhen Life Science Award and Qiushi outstanding scientist award, which have been recognized by everyone.

Another winner of the outstanding scientist Award for seeking truth is Yan Ning. She first revealed the atomic resolution structures of a series of transmembrane proteins with important physiological and pathological significance, such as human glucose transporters, eukaryotic voltage-gated sodium channels and calcium channels, which provides a molecular basis for understanding the pathogenesis of related diseases and drug development.

This year's "Qiushi outstanding scientific and technological achievement collective Award" was awarded to influenza and other important pathogenic mechanisms and prevention and control teams, with a total bonus of 1 million yuan. In addition, 12 young scientists including Guo Shuai of Peking University won the 'Outstanding Young Scholar Award for seeking truth'.

The truth seeking award is an affirmation and incentive for scientists, encouraging them to make continuous progress on the research road and obtain more original scientific research achievements.
