袁钧瑛:国际评委、国际评委组长
哈佛大学、中国科学院生物与化学交叉研究中心研究员。袁教授1989年于哈佛大学获得神经生物学博士学位,1990-1991年间任职于哈佛大学医学院,后荣升哈佛大学医学院医学助理教授。1996-2000年间为哈佛大学医学院细胞生物学副教授,2000年荣升哈佛大学细胞生物学教授;2014-2020年为哈佛大学医学院生物细胞学Elizabeth D. Hay冠名荣誉教授;2020年10月-至今担任中国科学院上海有机化学研究所生物与化学交叉研究中心主任、研究员。
袁钧瑛教授的主要研究目标是揭示哺乳动物细胞中调控细胞死亡的分子机制。袁钧瑛教授为开创两个主要的细胞死亡研究领域,包括细胞凋亡(apoptosis)和细胞坏死(necroptosis),做出了里程碑式的贡献。她的工作阐明了一系列在这两种细胞死亡方式中的关键驱动分子, 分子机制以及与人类疾病的关系。
在20世纪90年代,袁钧瑛教授首先发现了半胱天冬酶(caspases)作为物种间高度保守的驱动细胞凋亡的关键分子,并阐明了Bcl-2和caspase在介导细胞凋亡中的关系。随后,袁钧瑛教授发表了一系列细胞凋亡领域的经典论文,包括发现caspase-11 调控caspase-1的激活在炎症和凋亡中的关键驱动作用,和caspase-8对BID的切割在诱导线粒体损伤在细胞凋亡中的作用。
袁钧瑛教授的另一个重要学术贡献是首先发现了哺乳动物细胞坏死的可调控性。她的工作定义了程序性细胞坏死(necroptosis),一种哺乳动物细胞中可调控的细胞坏死方式,,并阐明了RIPK1 是介导necroptosis的关键分子。这个发现打破了学术界中坏死是被动不受调控的传统观念,揭示了细胞坏死的分子机理和靶向RIPK1作为临床治疗手段的新方向。已有大量研究表明RIPK1活化介导细胞炎症和细胞坏死,参与了多种人类重大炎症疾病和神经退行性疾病的病理发生和发展,包括老年痴呆症,多重硬化症,脊髓侧索硬化症,以及关节炎和肠炎。目前,RIPK1抑制剂已经在全球进入人类临床试验。袁钧瑛教授的工作受到Nobel 委员会的关注,两次邀请袁钧瑛教授到Nobel Forum 做专题报告。

Shiohama, K. Smoczyk, S.-T. Yau, and F. Zheng. With Lizhen Ji, Jianshu Li, and Shing-Tung Yau he co-edited Lie Groups and Automorphic Forms (AMS/IP, Vol. 37, 2006). He has directed more than ten national and provincial/ministerial research grants, including the NSFC projects "Geometry and Analysis on Riemannian Manifolds," "Studies of Several Problems in Global Riemannian Geometry," "Geometry and Topology of Riemannian Manifolds," and "Several Problems in the Geometry and Topology of Manifolds." He has been invited to give plenary and invited reports at a series of international conferences, including the Beijing International Conference on Differential Geometry commemorating the centenary of Shiing-Shen Chern, the Shanghai International Mathematics Conference commemorating the 110th anniversary of Su Buqing, the International Workshop on Geometric Heat Flows at Harvard University, and the China–Japan Friendship International Conference on Differential Geometry. He has visited more than ten distinguished foreign universities, including Harvard.
While carrying a heavy administrative load, he has insisted on teaching four or more undergraduate and graduate courses each year. He has supervised more than 60 master's, doctoral, and postdoctoral researchers in differential geometry. Several of his graduate students have published high-level papers in top international journals; one female student's doctoral work appeared in J. Differential Geom., Geom. Funct. Anal., Math. Ann., and other top international mathematics journals. Several of his recently graduated students have won NSFC and provincial/ministerial grants, been invited to serve as reviewers for the American Mathematical Reviews, and been invited to give talks at important international conferences. He has supervised more than twenty undergraduate theses in the Yau Mathematics Elite Class, the Chu Kochen Honors College, and the Department of Mathematics; two of these theses won the silver bachelor's-thesis award of the New World Mathematics Awards, and two were selected among Zhejiang University's hundred outstanding undergraduate theses. Two of the outstanding undergraduates he supervised were selected by academicians Gu Chaohao and Hu Hesheng for direct doctoral study without examination, as their final disciples; one of them won the inaugural "Gu Chaohao Prize," named for the mathematical master Gu Chaohao.
While running the daily work of the math center and department, he organized the 2007 assessment of the national key discipline in mathematics, and personally drafted dozens of important reports — the assessment report for the national key discipline in fundamental mathematics, the Ministry of Education's second-round first-level-discipline ranking report, the construction and development plan for the national key discipline in mathematics, the application and summary-assessment reports for the Phase-III 211 mathematics project, the application and summary-assessment reports for the Phase-II 985 mathematics innovation platform, and the talent-team-building plan for the department — making a crucial contribution to Zhejiang University's mathematics being selected as a first-level national key discipline and ranked 4th nationally in the Ministry of Education's second-round discipline assessment. He actively advanced applications for the national overseas high-level talent program in mathematics, Ministry of Education Cheung Kong Chair and Distinguished Professors, Zhejiang University Guangbiao and Qiushi Distinguished Professors, provincial special experts, and the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars — with results. He led the recruitment of a large group of outstanding full-time faculty. He helped organize a series of high-level academic conferences, including the Hangzhou International Conference on String Theory, the International Conference on Core Mathematics commemorating Professor Borel, the China Forum on the Development of Mathematical Sciences and Education, and the 4th International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians. He has made important contributions to the construction and development of Zhejiang University's math center and department.
He proved a unified theorem encompassing the famous Gauss–Bonnet–Chern theorem, the Chern–Lashof theorem, and the Willmore theorem, discovered new intrinsic connections among geometric, analytic, and topological quantities, and applied it to obtain new results on curvature and topology, providing a new and effective tool for studying the geometry, analysis, and topology of manifolds.
He was the first to prove, under the optimal pinching condition with positive Ricci curvature, the best convergence theorem for the higher-codimension mean-curvature flow in hyperbolic space and the best differentiable sphere theorem for submanifolds. Under optimized curvature-pinching conditions he proved convergence theorems for solutions of the higher-codimension mean-curvature flow in spheres and complex projective spaces and the differentiable sphere theorem for compact submanifolds, improving the convergence and differentiable-sphere theorems of Baker, Huisken, Pipoli, Sinestrari, and others. He proved a convergence theorem for the higher-codimension mean-curvature flow in general Riemannian manifolds, and convergence and extendability theorems under integral-curvature-pinching conditions. He systematically improved and developed the mean-curvature-flow theory of the Huisken school.
By constructing counterexamples, he settled the famous Yau conjecture on the pointwise pinching problem for Riemannian manifolds. Using tools such as Ricci flow, stable flow, and algebraic topology, he proved the best topological sphere theorem and the best differentiable sphere theorem for complete submanifolds in space forms. He successfully extended the famous Brendle–Schoen differentiable sphere theorem to submanifolds of arbitrary codimension p (= 0, 1, 2, …) in general Riemannian manifolds, and extended Huisken's differentiable sphere theorem for hypersurfaces to higher-codimension submanifolds. By introducing new intrinsic invariants, he fully extended Hadamard's differentiable sphere theorem for positively curved Riemannian surfaces to n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. He proved the differentiable sphere theorem for Riemannian manifolds with positive scalar curvature and obtained a metric rigidity theorem for Einstein manifolds with positive scalar curvature.

Building on the work of Peng Jiagui and Teng Chulian, he solved the international open problem of the second gap of the scalar curvature of 6- and 7-dimensional minimal hypersurfaces in spheres. He proved the second-gap theorem for the scalar curvature of n-dimensional small-constant-mean-curvature hypersurfaces in spheres. Building on the work of Ding Qi and Xin Yuanlong, he proved that the second-gap length of the scalar curvature of n-dimensional closed minimal hypersurfaces in the unit sphere is at least n/18, and extended this to small-constant-mean-curvature hypersurfaces in spheres. He proved that for n-dimensional complete self-shrinkers with polynomial volume growth in Euclidean space, the second-gap length of the squared norm of the second fundamental form is at least 1/18.
He proved that the generalized Pólya conjecture on higher-order eigenvalue estimates for high-dimensional compact minimal submanifolds with boundary nearly holds, advancing research on the generalized Pólya conjecture, and obtained estimates of the number of eigenvalues of the Schrödinger operator on compact minimal submanifolds with boundary, improving and developing the work of Shiu-Yuen Cheng, Peter Li, Shing-Tung Yau, and others. He obtained topological-sphere, differentiable-sphere, topological-finiteness, geometric-rigidity, and geometric-inequality theorems for manifolds under integral-curvature-pinching conditions, and gave a geometric estimate of the upper bound of the sum of Betti numbers of closed submanifolds. He proved uniqueness and finiteness theorems for the ends of complete submanifolds with finite total curvature in space forms.

Biology
Junying Yuan: international judge, head of the international judging panel
A researcher at Harvard University and at the Interdisciplinary Research Center on Biology and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Professor Yuan received her Ph.D. in neurobiology from Harvard in 1989, worked at Harvard Medical School from 1990 to 1991, and was later promoted to assistant professor of medicine there. She was an associate professor of cell biology at Harvard Medical School from 1996 to 2000, became a professor of cell biology at Harvard in 2000, and was the Elizabeth D. Hay Professor of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School from 2014 to 2020; since October 2020 she has been director and researcher of the Interdisciplinary Research Center on Biology and Chemistry at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Professor Yuan's main research goal is to reveal the molecular mechanisms regulating cell death in mammalian cells. She has made landmark contributions to opening up two major fields of cell-death research — apoptosis and necroptosis. Her work has elucidated a series of key driver molecules, molecular mechanisms, and links to human disease in these two modes of cell death.
In the 1990s, Professor Yuan first discovered caspases as highly species-conserved key molecules driving apoptosis, and elucidated the relationship between Bcl-2 and caspase in mediating apoptosis. She then published a series of classic papers in the apoptosis field, including the discovery of the key driving role of caspase-11 in regulating caspase-1 activation in inflammation and apoptosis, and the role of caspase-8's cleavage of BID in inducing mitochondrial damage in apoptosis.
Professor Yuan's other major academic contribution was the first discovery that mammalian-cell necrosis is regulatable. Her work defined programmed necrosis (necroptosis), a regulatable mode of cell necrosis in mammalian cells, and elucidated RIPK1 as the key molecule mediating necroptosis. This discovery overturned the academic community's traditional view that necrosis is passive and unregulated, revealing the molecular mechanism of cell necrosis and a new direction of targeting RIPK1 as a clinical therapeutic means. A great deal of research has shown that RIPK1 activation mediates cell inflammation and necrosis and participates in the pathogenesis and development of many major human inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, arthritis, and enteritis. RIPK1 inhibitors have now entered human clinical trials worldwide. Professor Yuan's work has drawn the attention of the Nobel Committee, which has twice invited her to give a special report at the Nobel Forum.
Professor Yuan's recent work has revealed the molecular mechanism by which RIPK1 mediates apoptosis and inflammation during aging, explaining how risk genes act synergistically with aging to cause neuroinflammation, functional inactivation, and the onset of neurodegenerative disease. This work points to a new direction for treating neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, Professor Yuan discovered a small molecule that inhibits cell death while promoting the cell's return to homeostasis, elucidating the molecule's target and mechanism and providing a new intervention strategy for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

Li Wenhui: international judge A senior investigator at the National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing. He received his Ph.D. in pathogen biology from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, in 2001; did postdoctoral research at Harvard Medical School from 2001 to 2004; was an Instructor at Harvard Medical School from 2004 to 2007; was an investigator at the National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing, from 2007 to 2015; and was promoted to senior investigator there in 2015.
The Li Wenhui laboratory's research interests focus on the molecular mechanisms of important viral infections and their prevention and treatment. In recent years it has worked mainly on hepatitis B virus (HBV). Hepatitis B is a serious infectious disease that harms human health. An estimated 240 million people worldwide are infected with HBV, about 93 million of them in China. Chronic HBV infection is an important cause of cirrhosis and liver cancer. Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is a satellite virus of HBV; of all HBV-infected people, about 15 million are co-infected with HDV. The laboratory discovered that the key receptor by which HBV and HDV infect hepatocytes is the sodium-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP); the HepG2 cell line stably expressing human NTCP (HepG2-NTCP) has become an important platform for HBV-related basic virology and antiviral-drug development. Scientific research on hepatitis B infection and drug development has now entered a vibrant new era. This laboratory uses an integrated combination of virology, biochemistry, immunology, chemical biology, and other disciplines to dissect the molecular basis of the HBV and HDV infection processes, helping to understand their pathological mechanisms. The laboratory hopes to develop new antiviral drugs and strive to ultimately relieve patients' suffering. In addition, the group collaborates with related laboratories to study the roles of molecules such as NTCP and bile acids in infection and metabolism.
