On February 15, 2023, the American Academy of Microbiology released the list of academicians. This news quickly attracted a lot of attention.

Researcher Yuan Zhenghong, a researcher at Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, his selection has become a highlight, and it also contains many details worthy of in-depth study.

Yuan Zhenghong has multiple responsibilities. He serves as director of medical molecular virology education, the National Health Commission, and the Key Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.

He enjoys a high reputation in the academic world, and being elected as an academician is a recognition of his past work achievements and many other aspects.

He holds numerous positions in the country that demonstrate his strong influence in the field of medical research. His research work is widely recognized, and the projects he is involved in are mostly designed to meet the specific needs of the country.

In China's scientific research environment, he stands out and continues to win awards.

Rewards such as the National Outstanding Youth Fund are enough to prove his scientific research strength.

This also reflects China’s positive results in cultivating scientific research talents.

After achieving great popularity in his home country, he moved onto the world stage. This appointment as an academician of the American Academy of Microbiology is the best evidence of this fact.

The American Society for Microbiology has an important branch - the American Academy of Microbiology. This institution is of great importance.

It is one of the world's largest and oldest membership organizations in the life sciences field.

This institution is at the forefront of microbial science, and its selection process for academicians is quite strict. The main consideration is the scientific research achievements and original contributions of scientists in the field of microbiology.

This selection mechanism is very advanced, so the scientists who can participate in it are outstanding in their respective fields.

The academicians elected by this institution cover many disciplines, including not only various branches of microbiology, but also experts engaged in basic and applied research, as well as workers in different positions such as education and teaching, public health, industry, and government services.

This reflects the rich diversity of microbiology. It covers a wide range of areas, showing that microorganisms play a key role at all levels of human society.

Yuan Zhenghong has made many contributions of historic significance.

Considering the national level, he built a pathogen monitoring technology system in Shanghai in response to the urgent need to respond to emerging infectious diseases.

This system has been extremely effective in the prevention and control of infectious diseases.

This system played a key role and made groundbreaking contributions in the diagnosis of human infection with the H7N9 avian influenza virus.

His contribution is not limited to Shanghai, but has high reference value for the country and even the world in the prevention and control of infectious diseases.

He has outstanding performance in transforming scientific research results into practical applications.

Through the transformation of knowledge and technology, he makes the prevention and control of infectious diseases more practical at the practical level.

His achievement was crucial at the time. It broke the possible response gaps and provided useful inspiration for the subsequent construction of similar technical systems.

Yuan Zhenghong has made outstanding achievements in publishing papers.

He has published more than 100 academic papers as the first or corresponding author in well-known journals such as The New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, and Science.

The large number of these papers demonstrates his passion and unremitting pursuit in the field of scientific research and innovation.

And since 2014, he has been continuously selected as a "Highly Cited Scholar in China".

These papers address a wide range of areas, and each attracts attention from many perspectives within their professional scope.

Papers published in the field of virology have promoted research and development in the industry.

His papers are of high standard and have been widely cited at home and abroad, becoming classic documents in related research fields.

There are not a few Chinese academicians in the American Academy of Microbiology.

Many Chinese scientists such as Cheng Genhong and Ding Shouwei are among them.

These Chinese scientific researchers are involved in many disciplines, and their research results have promoted the progress of microbiology at different levels.

Some people have made achievements in this field of virus research, while others have played key roles in the study of other microorganisms.

These Chinese scientific researchers have demonstrated strong competitiveness in the international field of microbiology. They not only proved the strength of the Chinese in this field, but also played a bridging role in microbiological exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States.

The joining of Yuan Zhenghong is of great significance to Fudan University Shanghai Medical College, and also has a profound impact on the Chinese scientific research community.

Fudan University Shanghai Medical College has witnessed scientists win this honor three times, which fully demonstrates that the school has developed a unique and effective method in cultivating scientific research talents.

His selection can inspire more scientific researchers in the college to continue to work hard.

Looking at the Chinese scientific research team as a whole, his election marks that my country's research in the field of microbiology has been widely recognized by the international community.

This also opens up new possibilities for in-depth exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States in the field of microbiology.

Other Chinese researchers will also take this as a goal and work towards higher scientific research achievements.

What new expectations do we have for Chinese scientists like Yuan Zhenghong who continue to work hard on the international stage?
