主讲人简介：

饶子和院士，清华大学教授，中国科学院学部主席团成员，全国政协常委，南开大学原校长，中国科学院生物物理研究所原所长，国际生物物理学界联盟前任主席。饶子和及其团队主要从事新发、再发传染病病原体的结构与功能研究，以及创新药物的研发。研究团队在新型冠状病毒、SARS冠状病毒、禽流感病毒、甲型肝炎病毒、疱疹病毒、非洲猪瘟病毒等病毒的感染、复制和组装，以及结核分枝杆菌能量和代谢物运输、耐药性和细胞壁合成的结构功能研究中取得了重要进展。在新型冠爆发期间，饶子和团队首先解析了新冠病毒的两个主要抗病毒药物靶点―主蛋白酶和聚合酶的三维结构，为认识病毒复制机制和发展抗病毒药物，提供了重要科学基础。迄今为止在国际科学期刊上发表同行评审论文380余篇，其中包括在Science、Nature、Cell三大科学杂志的主刊上发表研究论文21篇，被引用逾17,000次，获批专利37项。

Zihe Rao, Member of Presidium of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor of Tsinghua University/Nankai University, Former President of Nankai University, Former Director-General of the Institute of Biophysics, CAS.

Prof Rao is a renowned structural biologist whose research focus is on the study of pathogenic infectious agents. His work has provided ground-breaking insights into viral infection, replication and assembly, and into energy and metabolite transport, drug resistance and cell wall synthesis in Mycobacteria tuberculosis. His most recent work on picornaviruses, herpesvirus, Mycobacteria tuberculosis provided much-needed structural data for the design and development of new anti-viral and anti-TB drugs. To date, Prof Rao has published 380 peer-reviewed papers in international scientific journals with over 17,000 citations.

Since 2003, Prof. Rao has been elected as a Member of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Member of Academy of Sciences for Developing Countries, Fellow of Hertford College, University of Oxford, Member of International Eurasian Academy of Sciences, Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Honorary Doctor of University of Glasgow and Hong Kong Baptist University. From 2014-2017, Prof. Rao served as the President of International Union for Pure and Applied Biophysics (IUPAB). From 2006-2017, he served as the Chairman of Biophysics Society of China. Now, he serves as the Honorary Chairman of Biophysics Society of China.
