She was selected as a foreign member of the European Organization for Molecular Biology.

The European Organization for Molecular Biology (EMBO) announced the list of 62 new members for 2018 at 14:00 CENTRAL time (20:00 BST on May 14), the Chinese Academy of Sciences said Thursday.
, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Guangzhou Institute of Biomedicine and Health Research Institute, The Director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yan Tingqing, was selected as a chinese scientist as the new foreign member of EMBO, which is the 9th Chinese scientist to receive this award and the only scientist from China on the shortlist.
has been engaged in basic theoretical research on cell destiny regulation for a long time, and has made systematic and original work in inducing pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) and its mechanism, and its academic achievements include: the first international discovery of emtis-conjugated emtunited in iPSC, published China's first iPSC paper; The iPSC induction method with epithelial cells in human urine as the starting cell was established, the iPSC library of various genetic diseases was established, the human urine source epithelial cells were directly induced into neural stem cells, etc., and the world first revealed the scientific principleof of chemical methods for the preparation of stem cells, developed a simple, efficient and standardized method of preparing stem cells, and provided a new scientific perspective and solution for inducing the research and optimization of the preparation path of pluripotency stem cells.
because of his academic achievements, he is currently the head of China's National Stem Cell and Conversion Research Focus Group, a member of the Clinical Conversion Research Committee of the International Stem Cell Society, a member of the Human Gene Editing Research Group, a member of the American Academy of Sciences Seminar on Regenerative Medicine, and a lifelong member of the Chinese Biologists Association of North America.
is understood that the European Molecular Biology Organization is a well-known international biomedical community of unofficial academic organizations, founded in 1964, headquartered in Heidelberg, Germany.
currently has more than 1,800 top researchers, 87 of whom have won nobel prizes.
the organization's main goal is to support the best researchers at all stages of their careers, facilitate the exchange of scientific information, and help create a European research environment where scientists can perform their best.
EMBO members use their expertise and insight to guide the execution of EMBO projects by serving on the EMBO Board of Governors, Committees and Advisory Editorial Boards while emphasizing scientific value.
, EMBO members therefore influence the future direction of life science research and raise the level of academic research throughout Europe and around the world.
EMBO nominates and selects new members each year by current members, 85-90% of whom come from the 29 member countries of the European Conference on Molecular Biology (EMBC) and 10% to 15% of the members are foreign members of non-member states in recognition of their outstanding contribution to scientific research.
foreign membership is available only to a few top scientists outside Europe, in an effort to underscore the importance of scientists communicating globally. Before
, eight Chinese scientists were selected as Members of EMBO, namely Yang Huanming, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2006, Li Jiayang, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Shi Yigong, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who were selected in 2014, Wang Xiaodong, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, And Cao Xuetao, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Wu Hong, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2016.
