He "lights up" the future of modern Chinese genetics

He first brought the word "gene" to Chinese, he pioneered a number of "firsts" in Chinese genetics research and education: the establishment of the first genetics major in Chinese universities, the first institute of genetics, the first institute of life sciences, he called for the protection of Chinese's genetic resources, led to the establishment of the National Genome Research Center, so that China has a place in the world's human genome research . . .
He is one of the founders of modern genetics in China and an internationally renowned geneticist.
August 23-25, the 2019 Global Congress of Chinese Genetics on the theme of "Genetics: Technological Innovation and Collaborative Development" was held at Fudan University, where more than 500 geneticists from home and abroad gathered to exchange views, share wisdom, and jointly solve the current frontiers and hot issues of genetics, fully demonstrating the style of Chinese geneticists. Fudan University Party Secretary Jia Yang delivered a welcoming speech on behalf of the school, and Xue Yongxuan, president of the Chinese Genetics Society of China, and Huang Tao, president of the Chinese Genetic Society of the Americas, delivered an opening speech.
August 24th, a symposium to commemorate the 110th anniversary of Mr. Jiaxuan's birth and the unveiling of the Memorial Room were held at The Jiangwan Campus of Fudan University. From all over the country, academic experts and Mr. Jiaxuan's relatives and friends, students and more than 70 people gathered to remember this respected predecessor, kind elders and teaching and education model.
, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and chairman of the NLD Central Committee, and Chen Wei, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and chairman of the Central Committee of the Agricultural and Labour Party, sent congratulatory letters.1936, Mr. Jiaxuan received his Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology. The following year, in the face of the modern genetics founder, mentor Morgen's retention, with the "scientific newspaper country" ideal of Mr. Jiaxuan resolutely abandoned the good conditions abroad, choose to return home.
in the fire of the Anti-Japanese War, in the university's west migration, Mr. Jiaxuan insisted on the persistence of knowledge.
"In the humble 'laboratory' of tongtang, the only lighting tool at that time was a small oil lamp, the conditions are very simple. Jin Li, vice president of Fudan University in Shanghai and a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said it was the dim light in the middle of the night that lit up the future of modern genetics in China.
Engaged in genetic research and teaching for more than 70 years, Mr. Jiaxuan has published more than 100 academic papers and made pioneering achievements in related research fields, and his discovery of the mosaic explicit phenomenon of ladybug spot genetics provides an important complement to the development of classical genetics and a key argument for modern integrated evolutionary theory.
admirable is Mr. Jiaxuan's insistence on the truth.
the 1950s, the Soviet Union's Michulin theology prevailed at home, emphasizing that it was the external environment, not the internal causes, that influenced the decision to breed, and that Morgen's genetic theology was suppressed. In the circumstances, Mr. Jiaxuan was afraid of pressure and firmly defended the scientific truth of Morgen's genetics.At the
symposium, Zhao Guoping, a researcher at the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Science/Plant Physiology and Ecology Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that Mr. Jiaxuan's greatest contribution was to "stick to the Moorgen school of cytogenetics" in the circumstances of the time, and ultimately "to allow the Chinese genetic community to form a free atmosphere of communication and common development".
" is his persistence, only in Fudan University to shape the 'three first'. This pragmatic and truth-seeking spirit is well worth learning from later generations. Zhang Yaping, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said.as an educator, more than 70 years, Mr. Jiaxuan preached, and educated people, for the development of genetics in Our country to train a large number of outstanding talents, Peach Li full of the world.
the reform and opening-up in 1978, Mr. Jiaxuan found that the development of genetics in China is seriously backward, Europe and the United States have entered the era of molecular biology, the gap is huge.
he has underwent two major operations, dragged his sick body, visited the United States, Europe and Japan, vigorously strengthened exchanges and cooperation, and has recommended 17 middle-aged and young academic backbones of the College to visit abroad, further study and cooperative research. Most of these people returned home, and later became the backbone of Fudan University's genetics.
In 1979, Mr. Jiaxuan invited his old classmate at the California Institute of Technology and a member of the American Academy of Sciences, James Bonner, to lead an academic team to Fudan University to set up a course in molecular genetics, systematically introducing the establishment of a genome library, molecular cloning and other cutting-edge academic progress, for china's molecular genetic research to train a large number of backbones.
" Today's scientific and technological community on the life science research competition is very fierce, only the advantages of talent, can make China win. "That's what Mr. Jiaxuan often says.
Jin Li is a student of Mr. Liu Zudong, a disciple of the talker, when Mr. Jiaxuan decided to select a master's student, three undergraduates for genetics and mathematics cross-training, Jin Li is one of the three undergraduates, and later, Jin Li to Stanford University in the United States as a postdoctoral student, 80-year-old Mr. Jiaxuan personally flew to the United States, invited him to return home.
" talk about mr. ten hours of long-haul flight to find me, invited me to return home. At noon he slept on the sofa in the common room of the laboratory. Jin Li recalls that when I saw a big scientist in my mind, I was still running for genetics, "and I was in tears."
mr. Jiaxuan left, Jin Li gently told him in his ear, "You can rest assured, I'm sure I'll be back." Huang
director of the National Center for the Southern Study of the Human Genome, also vividly remembers the first time she reported to Mr. Jiaxuan 21 years ago.
" was very nervous when he reported to the old man, but he was very amiable. Huang Wei said, "He patiently listened to my introduction, very keen to obtain the results of the analysis and international research progress in related fields of analysis, in-depth and shallow indication of the innovative and academic value of the work." Shortly
, the findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. I was deeply moved and encouraged by the great efforts of the old and the younger generation to carry and inspire. Huang Wei said. in Huang Wei's view, the summer of 1997 was of great historical significance and value to the Chinese genetics community.
At that time, despite his old years, Mr. Jiaxuan, with great courage and courage, went to the center of the book, expounding the need and feasibility of protecting Chinese types of genetic resources and increasing investment in organizational research to speed up the study of the human genome in China. The central leadership attaches great importance to this, fully affirms it, and makes important instructions.
September 1997, the Ministry of Science and Technology held a symposium in Shanghai, at which Mr. Jiaxuan proposed to raise genomic research to a national level, and proposed the establishment of human genome research centers in Shanghai and Beijing.
Huang Wei recalled that for the Southern Human Genome Research Center how to choose the site, when the talk of Jiaxuan first said a word: suggested to Pudong to see, suggested to consider the construction of Zhangjiang high-tech park.
", it became clear that Mr. He wanted us to build a genomic science and technology system at the source of knowledge on the innovation base of the international biopharmaceutical industry. Huang Wei said.
" is very far-sighted, and now Pudong is an important center of national science and technology innovation. Zhao Guoping said.
" science and technology workers can only redouble their efforts to work hard for the development of life sciences and genetics in our country, and then climb a new peak, can they live up to Mr. Talk's eager expectations of us. Zhang Yaping said.
, the relevant donation session was also held, and the Chinese Genetic Society donated a calligraphy work by Mr. Li Zhensheng in memory of Mr. Li. On behalf of Mr. Gao Pei's family, Lu Daru, vice dean of Fudan University's School of Life Sciences, donated precious manuscripts reflecting the history of Fudan genetics. Wang Mingwei, dean of Fudan University's School of Pharmacy and director of the National Center for New Drug Screening, donated original communications with Mr. Wang from the 1980s to the late 1990s.
