The program was approved by the Governing Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. It was supported under Master Agreement number 86-18643 between the National Science Foundation and the National Academy of Sciences and Contract Number INT 85-06451 between the National Science Foundation and the Committee on Scholarly Communica- tion with the People's Republic of China (CSCPRC).

Program activities for this joint initiative were developed and finalized by members of the Committee on Scholarly Communication with the People's Republic of China (CSCPRC) Subcommittee on Biotechnology in a meeting with representatives of CAS. They agreed to a 3-year program that would include biotechnology minicourses to be held in China under the instruction of teams of American scientists, a major joint symposium in Shanghai on gene expression and gene regulation, and an assessment of Chinese biotechnology. Four minicourses were designed to cover important current research areas: nematode molecular genetics, gene expression and amplification in yeast, immunotoxins and tumor markers, and plant molecular biology. Alexander Rich, chairman of the CSCPRC subcommittee, proposed a format which combined laboratory training with complementary, broader based lectures. Chinese students came from all parts of the country to learn the latest research methodologies and techniques, and the results were overwhelmingly successful. The symposium was scheduled to take place at the end of May 1989. It was postponed because of the growing instability resulting from prodemocracy demonstrations taking place in China at that time. Attendant with the substantial increase in Sino-American collaboration in the past 10 years is a need to extend American understanding of Chinese science goals, funding policies, and research infrastructure. For this reason, it was About PDFthis file: This new digital representation of original workthe has been recomposed XMLfrom files created from o the original typesetting files. breaks Page are true the line lengths, word to original; breaks, heading styles, and other typesett aspublication this inserted.Please versionoftypographicerrors have been accidentallyretained, and some print use the may Copyright © National Academy of Sciences.

CSCPRC subcommittee member Dean H. Hamer, an innovative researcher and leader of one of the minicourse delegations, and Shain-dow Kung, a professor of botany and biotechnology researcher who is known and valued for his inside track among the Chinese hierarchies, took up this challenge. They reviewed post-minicourse reports made by each American minicourse instructor, conducted a survey of published biotechnology research, both in Chinese and English, and drew on their own personal communications riginal paper book, not from the and previous experiences in China. Furthermore, in the fall of 1988, they traveled to China in order to make a firsthand evaluation of current the authoritative version for attribution. biotechnology research activities and funding. They met with high-level ing-specific formatting, however, cannot be officials in charge of science and technology policies, and they visited research institutes and biotechnology bases. Biotechnology in China is the result of all of these efforts: a comprehensive, evaluative, and at times, provocative documentary of Chinese biotechnology research. It should be noted that Hamer and Kung completed their report prior to the prodemocracy demonstrations in the spring of 1989. The massacre in Tiananmen Square on June 3-4 and the government's subsequent repressive actions have inevitably altered the environment for scholarly communication with China. Regretfully, the pace of development and change in biotechnology in China and, at least in the short term, the extent and type of American participation have been significantly affected. Nonetheless, I feel strongly that the authors' findings and recommendations remain timely and noteworthy. The CSCPRC would like to express its appreciation to the authors for making this assessment available to the American scientific community. Also, CSCPRC is especially appreciative of Alexander Rich's leadership of the subcommittee and Eric Davidson's perceptive

  • Pioneer in DNA Research & Cloning
    Name in English: Ray J. Wu Name in Chinese: 吳瑞 Name in Pinyin: Wú Ruì Gender: Male Birth Year: August 14, 1928 – February 10, 2008 Birth Place: Beijing, China Philanthropy: Yes Pioneer in DNA Research & Cloning Profession (s): Scientist, Professor, Biochemist, Bioengineer Education: Bachelor of Science, Chemistry, University of Alabama, 1950; Ph.D, Biochemistry, University of Pennsylvania, 1955 Awards: 2003, Fellow of the American Academy for the Advancement of Science; 2003, Fellow of the Chinese Academy of Engineering; 2002, Frank Annunzio Award in Science and Technology, Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation Contribution (s): In 1970, Dr. Ray J. Wu developed the first method for sequencing DNA and some of the basic tools for DNA cloning at Cornell University where he had been a professor since 1966. His primer-extension strategy was later adopted by Dr. Frederick Sanger in developing a much faster method for sequencing DNA that won Sanger the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1980. The basic research first done by Dr. Wu has formed the basis for the entire world of modern biotechnology and DNA research and engineering. In 1976, Dr. Wu and other scientists spliced genetic material into bacteria, demonstrating that it is possible to introduce an artificial genetic message into living cells. At the time, he predicted that the procedure would one day make it possible to transplant a great range of genetic material. In the 1980s, he began to look at ways to make rice more resistant to insects, drought, salt water and temperature extremes through genetic engineering. His Cornell team successfully introduced transgenic rice with gene splicing applications that could also benefit crops such as corn, wheat, millet, soybeans, and sugar cane.

  • Ray Wu, Pioneer of Rice Research: in Memoriam
    [ Special Feature ] Photograph of Prof Ray Wu, taken when the nine volumes of his book, /Recombination DNA/ (Methods in Enzymology series), were published and reserved and displayed at the front entrance of the US Library of Congress in 1993. Ray Wu, Pioneer of Rice Research: In Memoriam he Society of Chinese Bioscientists in America (SCBA) deeply mourns the passing of Professor Ray J. Wu, a molecular biologist and geneticist of Cornell University, USA, on February 10, 2008. With his keen vision Tand deft handling, Prof Wu founded the China–United States Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Examination and Application (CUSBEA) Program in 1982, and thus laid the groundwork for enabling over 400 of the top Chinese students to receive graduate education in the US from 1982 to 1989. 26 ■ Volume 12 > Number 6 > 2008 www.asiabiotech.com [ Special Feature ] About Professor Ray Wu Before his unexpected death from heart surgery on February 10, 2008, Ray J. Wu was the Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics, International Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics, and former Department Chair (1976–1978) of the Section of Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology at Cornell University. In fact, Ray Wu was very much his father’s son: his father, Professor Hsien Wu, was trained in the US and developed the Folin–Wu method for blood analysis, before returning to China to establish the first Department of Biochemistry at the Peking Union Medical College in Beijing in 1924. Professor Ray Wu first came recruited, and brought over 400 of professorships in more than a dozen to the US in 1948.
