Botanist. Born in Lanxi, Zhejiang Province. Graduated from the Department of Biology, Tsinghua University in 1936. Received MS from the Graduated School, Tsinghua University in 1941 and Ph.D. from Illinois University, USA in 1946. Research professor, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Wang is mainly engaged in the study of plant embryology and pollen morphology, especially systematic research on embryology of gymnosperms and systematic evolution of gymnosperms. He obtained profound insight and understanding. He initiated the study of pollen morphology of extant plants, published a lot of monographs and brought up a great number of accomplished talents.
He was elected Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1980.

生理学家。山西昔阳人。1936年毕业于清华大学生物系。1950年获美国伊利诺大学医学院哲学博士学位。北京医科大学生理学教授。曾利用具有移植胰的狗,观察各种食物在小肠中引起促胰液素和促胰酶素(即胆囊收缩素)释放的情况,被认为是食物引起胃肠激素释放的定量研究的开端;阐明迷走—胰岛素系统,发现交感神经对胰高血糖素的释放作用,处于当时世界领先水平;证实了迷走—胃泌素机制在胃液分泌神经反射期中的重要意义;后发现有些胃肠激素具有细胞保护作用,提出细胞保护可能是胃肠激素的生理功能之一的假说,已获得不少证据支持。

Physiologist. Born in Xiyang, Shaanxi Province. Graduated from the Department of Biology, Tsinghua University in 1936. Research Ph. D. from the Medical School, University of Illinois, USA in 1950. Professor, Beijing Medical University.
Wang made use of dogs with transplanted pancreas to observe the release of secretin and pancreozymin (i.e. the cholecystokinin) caused by various kinds of food in small intestine. This work was regarded as the beginning of quantitative assessment of the gastrointestinal hormonal release caused by food. He clarified the vago-insulin system and first discovered the releasing effect of the sympathetic nerve on glucagon. He confirmed the significance of vagal-gastrin mechanism in the gastric secretion of psychic phase. In recent years, he found that some gastrointestinal hormones have cytoprotective effect and proposed a hypothesis that cytoprotection might be one of the physiologic functions of gastrointestinal hormones. This hypothesis is now supported by quite a few proofs.
He was elected Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1980.

生物化学家。江苏泰兴人。1940年毕业于重庆中央大学。1951年获美国西部保留地大学博士学位。1951~1954年在美国约翰·霍普金斯大学从事博士后研究。中国科学院上海生物化学研究所研究员。解决了辅酶A中第三个磷酸的位置,首创了从辅酶Ⅰ直接合成辅酶Ⅱ的大量制备方法,30年来为世界各大药厂采用;在我国最早开展了核酸生化的研究工作,是我国生产核苷酸类助鲜剂的创始人;参加并领导世界首次人工合成酵母丙氨酸转移核糖核酸(tRNA)的研究工作;人工合成了具有生物活性的酵母丙氨酸tRNA,使我国人工合成生物大分子的研究水平继续居于世界领先地位,在这项研究中从方案设计到具体路线的制订以及许多技术难关的解决,他都发挥了重要作用;1982年起从事酵母丙氨酸tRNA结构功能的关系和tRNA中修饰核苷酸的生物功能等方面的研究。

Biochemist. Born in Taixing, Jiangsu Province. Graduated from Chongqing Central University in 1940. Received Ph. D. from Western Reserve University, USA in 1951. Undertook postdoctoral research in Johns Hopkins University from 1951 to 1954. Research professor, Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Wang determined the position of the third phosphopate in CoA and first established the method for large scale preparation of CoE Ⅱ(NADP+) directly from CoE Ⅰ(NADP+), which has been adopted by many large pharmaceutical factories over the world in the past 30 years. He was the pioneer in China in the initiator in the production of flavor-enhancing nucleotides. He participated and led the research on the total synthesis of yeast alanine transfer RNA(tRNA) for the first time in the world, which made China’s research on the biomacromolecular synthesis rank the world leading position. In this project, he played an important role in designing both the program and the detailed pathway as well as in tackling with many technological difficulties. Since 1982, he has been studying the relations between the structure and function of yeast alanine tRNA, biological function of the modified nucleotides in tRNA, etc..
He was elected Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1980.
