Biographical Sketch Zhang YouYi, Professor in Medicine, Director of Institute of Cardiovascular Science, Peking University; Associate Director of Institute of Vascular Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital; vice Dean of Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies Peking University. Dr. Zhang obtained her B.S. in Medicine in 1982 and Ph.D. at Xinjiang Medical University and Nihon University in 1992. She worked in Institute of Vascular Medicine at Peking University Third Hospital as a post-doctoral fellow between 1992 and 1994. She worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the Department of Pharmacology, Emory University, USA from 1999 to 2001. Since 1993, her research has been focused on adrenoceptors and cardiovascular disease, especially on distribution, expression, mediated biological function, signal transduction, regulation, cross-talk between adrenoceptors, and pathophysiological alterations of adrenoceptors in heart and blood vessels. Recently she started to work on study of the signaling of the cardiac adrenoceptors in heart remodeling and heart failure as well as single molecular imaging detection in living cells. As a principle investigator, she was in charge of more than ten grants including the National Basic Research Program of China (973 Program) from Ministry of Science and Technology, and grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China. She has published 200 research articles, 115 of which were in international journals.
Biographical Sketch Dong Erdan, MD, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine, Executive Director of Department of Health Sciences of National Natural Science Foundation of China. Dr. Dong graduated from Peking University, and conducted his post-doctoral research in University of Rochester, USA. He has long been engaged in basic cardiovascular research and scientific fund management. He has hosted or participated in many programs of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and National Basic Program of China (973 Program), and published about 100 papers. He is Vice Editor-in-Chief of Chinese Journal of Hypertension, and member of editorial boards of more than 10 journals, including The Chinese Medical Journal, Journal of Geriatric Cardiology, Science Foundation in China, and Science China Life Sciences. He is member of the evaluation committee of National Award for Progress in Science and Technology and State Natural Science Award, and member of Special Committee for Academic and Society affairs of China Association for Science and Technology. He has won awards five times and honors twice from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and enjoyed special government allowances from the State Council in 2012.
