Shi Zhengli, a researcher at the Wuhan Virus Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who had been involved in the source of coronary virus, was selected as an effective candidate for the Academician of the Academy of Sciences.
According to Surging News, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering announced on Thursday (August 31) that the selection and recommendation of academicians in 2023 has ended.Structural biologists, Yan Ning and Shi Zhengli, a professor at Tsinghua University, were among them.
58 -year -old Shi Zhengli is currently the deputy director of the Wuhan National Biological Safety Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the director of the high pathogenic pathogen and biological safety laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the editor -in -chief of the Chinese virus science in professional medical journals.
The New York Times in the United States reported in 2021 that Shi Zhengli was a symbol of Chinese scientific progress and was the "Bat Woman" at the forefront of emerging virus research.She has led the expedition to enter the cave and collects samples from bats and bird dung to understand how the virus is transmitted from animals to humans.Shi Zhengli became one of the 109 scientists in the American Microbiology Society in the field of virus research in 2019.
However, after the crown disease epidemic swept the world in 2020, the Wuhan Virus Research Institute where Shi Zhengli was located was questioned as the source of coronal virus.In this way, Shi Zhengli was interviewed in a scientific magazine in July of the same year, saying that former US President Trump should apologize for his laboratory to claim that the coronal virus came from her laboratory.
Shi Zhengli believes that the politics of the crown disease has exhausted all her enthusiasm for the origin of the virus, and she then focused on the characteristics of the characteristic of coronary vaccine and neo -virus.
She said in an interview in 2021: "I don't know how the world has become like this, and continues to splash dirty water towards an innocent scientist."
