, /PRNewswire/ — The Future Science Prize committee will announce the 2022 winners on August 21. Prof. Wenhui Li from the National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing, China; The Tsinghua Institute of Multidisciplinary Biomedical Research receives the Future Science Award in life sciences for its discovery of the Hepatitis B and D virus receptor, sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP). This discovery facilitates the development of more effective treatment for hepatitis B and D. Prof. Xueming Yang from Southern University of Science and Technology; Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences receives the Future Science Award in physical sciences for the development of next-generation molecular beam techniques with high resolution and sensitivity for state-resolved reaction dynamics studies , which reveals quantum resonances and geometric phase effects in chemical reactions. Professor Ngaiming Mok from the University of Hong Kong receives the Future Science Award in mathematics and computer science, for developing the theory of Minimum Rational Tangent Varieties in algebraic geometry to solve many long-standing problems and prove the Ax conjecture -Schanuel for Shimura variety. .
2022 Future Science Prize Winners Announcement: Wenhui Li, Xueming Yang, Ngaiming Mok
The Future Science Award is a privately funded science award started by a group of scientists and entrepreneurs. The Future Science Award aims to celebrate the achievements of scientists who have made extraordinary scientific contributions. Graduates will be awarded for achievements that:
they have made a significant global impact;
be original with long-term importance, or have passed the test of time; and
be completed primarily in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan. There are no restrictions on the nationalities of graduates.
Currently, there are three major categories, namely the “Life Science Prize”, the “Physical Science Prize” and the “Mathematics and Computer Science Prize”, with each prize worth 1 million US dollars respectively.
