Tu Yu won the National Science and Technology Award: becoming the first female scientist to receive the award

On January 9, the annual National Science and Technology Awards Conference was held in the Great Hall of the People. Party and state leaders Xi Jinping, Li Keqiang, Liu Yunshan and Zhang Gaoli attended the conference and presented awards to the winners. On behalf of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, Li Keqiang spoke at the conference. Zhang Gaoli presided over the meeting.

According to the provisions of the National Science and Technology Awards Regulations, approved by the National Science and Technology Awards Review Committee, the National Science and Technology Awards Committee and the Ministry of Science and Technology, the State Council approved and reported to President Xi Jinping for signature, and awarded Academician Zhao Zhongxian and Researcher of the State the highest science. The Technology Award, which is also the first time the National Science and Technology Award is awarded to a female scientist. At the same time, Tu Yu has become the fourth medical person in the field after Wu Mengchao (2005) Wang Zhongcheng (2008) and Wang Zhenyi (2010). As of now, since the establishment of the National Science and Technology Award in 2000. A total of 27 scientists received this honor, including vacancies in 2004 and 2015 respectively.

The bonus is still 5 million yuan, after the Nobel Prize prize won by Tutan was 3.2 million yuan. (Note: The 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was jointly awarded by Tu Yu and two other scientists, William C. Campbell and Satoshi mura. The total prize money was about $920,000. The slaughter won half of the prize, $460,000, equivalent to RMB. Nearly 3.2 million, Tu Yu divided the bonus into three parts, 100 of which were donated to his alma mater, Peking University, and an innovation fund was set up; 100 was donated to the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences to reward young and active young people and make more young people People are investing in the research of Chinese medicine; the rest is spent on the daily expenses of the team.)

About the winners

Zhao Zhongxian: physicist. Born on January 30, 1941 in Xinmin, Liaoning. Graduated from the Department of Technical Physics, University of Science and Technology of China in 1964. In 1987, he was elected as an academician of the Third World Academy of Sciences. In 1991, he was elected as a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (academician). He has been engaged in low temperature and superconductivity research for a long time. In 1983, he began to study the oxide superconductor BPB system and the heavy fermion superconductivity. At the end of 1986, he noticed the influence of impurities in the Ba-La-Cu-O system research, and cooperated with it in early 1987. The beryllium copper oxygen superconductor with a critical temperature of 92.8K was independently discovered. In 1987, he won the Physics Prize of the Third World Academy of Sciences. In 1988, he won the first Chen Jiageng Material Science Award. In 1990, he won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award. In 2002, he was awarded the second prize of the National Natural Science Award. In 2005, he was awarded the Outstanding Achievements Group Award of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2009, due to the contribution to the iron-based superconductor and the other seven scholars, the “Qiushi” Foundation “Outstanding Science and Technology Achievements” collective award. In 2011, he was awarded the second prize of the National Natural Science for his contribution to the superconducting quantum size effect. In 2013, Zhao Zhongxian won the first prize of the 20 National Natural Science Awards. At the time, the award was vacant for three years.

Tu Yu: The discoverer of the antimalarial artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin, born in 1930 in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, was assigned to the Institute of Chinese Medicine of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences after graduating from the Pharmacy Department of Beijing Medical College in 1955. She was inspired by the ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine, changed the traditional extraction process of Artemisia annua L., and created a method for low-temperature extraction of effective parts of Artemisia annua L. to become a key breakthrough in the discovery of artemisinin. The carcass and its team first isolated the antimalarial effective single component “artemisinin” from the effective antimalarial part of Artemisia annua. According to the new national drug regulations, the artemisinin was developed as the first new drug since the implementation of the new drug approval method in China. .

Since the 1990s, the World Health Organization has recommended artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) as the first choice for malaria treatment, which is now widely used in malaria-endemic areas around the world. According to the WHO World Malaria Report 2015, global malaria incidence and mortality decreased by 37% and 60% between 2000 and 2015, respectively, due to effective prevention and treatment measures including ACT treatment, saving approximately 5.9 million children. s life.

Tu Yu and his team have won a number of important domestic and international awards. For example, in 1979, the "antimalarial new drug artemisinin" won the second prize of the National Invention Award, in 2011, the American Rasko Clinical Medicine Award, and in 2015, Nobel Physiology or Medical award.
