7名中国科学家当选2007年度发展中国家科学院院士
11月13至14日，发展中国家科学院（TWAS，原称第三世界科学院）第十八届院士大会在意大利里雅斯特市举行。大会宣布，此次新当选的院士来自20个国家，共45人，其中有中国大陆和香港的7名科学家当选。他们分别是：
方荣祥：研究员，中国科学院微生物研究所植物基因组学国家重点实验室主任。
张亚平：中国科学院院士，博士，中国科学院昆明动物研究所所长。
陈赛娟：中国工程院院士，博士，上海交通大学医学院上海血液学研究所执行所长。
支志明：中国科学院院士，博士，香港大学化学系Dr.Hui Wai Haan讲座教授。
黄伯云：中国工程院院士，中国科学技术协会副主席，中南大学校长。
朱静：中国科学院院士，清华大学材料科学与工程研究院院长。
许志琴：中国科学院院士，博士，国土资源部大陆动力学重点实验室、中国地质科学院地质研究所教授。
发展中国家科学院是在已故巴基斯坦物理学家、诺贝尔物理学奖获得者阿布杜斯·萨拉姆教授倡议下，于1983年11月10日创建的，总部（秘书处）设在意大利的里雅斯特国际理论物理中心，是一个非政府、非政治、非营利的国际科学组织，旨在支持和促进发展中国家和地区的科学研究，推动南南和南北科技人员和科研机构之间的交流与合作，鼓励对第三世界面临的问题开展科研。萨拉姆为首任院长。院士会议每年轮流在院士所在国举行。
发展中国家科学院院士是从发展中国家的科学院、国家研究理事会、大学和研究机构以及发达国家的科学组织的著名科学家中选举产生的，分布在数学、物理学、天文学、生物学、工程科学与技术、医学、社会和经济学等十大领域，他们均在各自的学科领域对发展中国家科学发展做出了杰出的贡献。发展中国家科学院每年增选新院士40名左右，目前共有院士880人，来自70多个国家和地区。（科学网 郭晓珺/编译）
附：发展中国家科学院网站对7名科学家的简介
FANG, Rongxiang (China). b.19-1-1946. Director, State Key Laboratory of Plant Genomics/Senior Research Fellow, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China. Fang has elucidated the molecular mechanism of antigenic drift of influenza strains by the sequencing and comparison of the viral hemagglutinin genes; analyzed the cis-elements of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter and augmented the promoter activity by multiplication of the enhancer sequence; and developed virus-resistant transgenic tobacco plants which were planted over 60,000 ha in the early 1990s. He is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the winner of the Second Class (thrice) and First Class I (twice) Awards of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the HLHL Foundation Prize.
Elected as Fellow.
ZHANG, Ya-Ping (China). b.1-5-1965. Ph.D., Professor and Vice-Director, Kunming Institute of Zoology, Yunnan, China. A highly cited (>1000) author, Zhang has been working on the phylogenetic and biogeographical patterns of fauna biodiversity and has the biggest animal DNA bank in Asia. He has established the population history and genetic structure of the giant panda, Sichuan langur, slow loris and argali. He is an elected member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the winner of the Bay and Paul Foundation's Biodiversity Leadership Award for 2002.
Elected as Fellow.
CHEN, Sai-Juan (China). b.21-5-1951., Ph. D., Professor, Shanghai Institute of Hematology, Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China. Chen has made seminal contributions to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms in leukemogenesis. Her studies not only provided biomakers for diagnosis and prognosis, but also led to a concept of molecular targeting therapy, making APL the first curable AML by combination treatment with all-trans retinoic acid and arsenic trioxide. She has won the HLHL Foundation Science & Technology Progress Award, the Qiu Shi Scholar Award, and the Outstanding Young Scientist Award of China, among others.
Elected as Fellow.
CHE, Chi-Ming (China). b.7-9-1957. Ph.D., Hui-Wai Haan Chair of Chemistry, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China. Che has conducted pioneering research in virtually every area of inorganic chemistry. His most notable contributions have been: (1) phosphorescent metal-organic complexes; (2) reactive metal-ligand multiple bonded complexes; and (3) inorganic medicines. He is a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and has won the National Natural Science Prize of China, the Federation of Asian Chemical Societies Foundation Lectureship Award, and the National Outstanding Young Scholar Award.
Elected as Fellow.
HUANG, Baiyun (China). b.24-11-1945. Ph.D., Vice Chairman of the China Association of Science & Technology, President of Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China. Huang has done pioneering work in powder metallurgy, in the development of high performance friction materials including carbon-carbon and metal-matrix composites, and advanced materials based on Ti-Al intermetallics. He is a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and has won the National Technology Invention Award of China and the National Science & Technology Advancement Award of China.
Elected as Fellow.
ZHU, Jing (China). b.10-10-1938. Dean, School of Material Science and Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. Zhu is a material scientist and a pioneer in analytical electron microscopy in China. Her research focuses on the relationship between structure and properties in solids. She has developed steels with ultrahigh strength/toughness. She is a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the winner of the National Natural Science and Science and Technology Progress Prizes, the Academy's Science and Technology Progress Prize, the HLHL Prize, and China's Metallurgical Industry Ministry's Prize 5 times.
Elected as Fellow.
XU, Zhiqin (China). b.14-8-1941. Ph.D., Professor, Key Laboratory for Continental Dynamics of MLR, Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, Beijing, China. Xu has made excellent contributions to understanding the tectonics of China, the deformation mechanisms for rocks of various levels, and the processes and mechanisms for the formation of large-scale collisional orogenic belts/plateaux such as the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, the Qilian-Altun-Kunlun orogenic belts and the Sulu- Dabie ultra-high pressure (UHP) metamorphic belt. A member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, she has won China's Distinguished Young Scientist Prize, the Li Siguang Earth Science Medal, and also the HLHL Prize of Hong Kong.
