1 1 urgent need before! ! ! ! ! The deeds of foreigners who have contributed to the fight against AIDS in history

He Dayi, a pioneer of AIDS research in China, and Reagan, a former US president, were inducted into the California Hall of Fame.

He Dayi,1952165438+10 was born in Taiwan Province province, China. 12 years old, moved to Los Angeles with his family. At the age of 22, he graduated with honors from the Physics Department of California Institute of Technology, and later received his bachelor's and doctor's degrees in medicine from the University of California and Harvard University. Allen, USA? Director and CEO of Diamond AIDS Research Center.

Professor He Dayi, who first discovered the "cocktail therapy" that can inhibit AIDS, was selected as 1996 man of the year by Time magazine. This study can delay the onset of the patient for at least a few years, and it is very likely to cure the patient. In August, 20001,he was selected by Time magazine as one of the top talents with groundbreaking research achievements in the field of science and medicine in the United States.

Because of the "cocktail therapy" invented by He Dayi, the AIDS control rate reached 99.9%, and the death toll of AIDS patients in Europe and America was reduced by half. 1996, He Dayi was selected as the cover figure by Time magazine of the United States, and the magazine commented that he was a real hero who turned around Gan Kun for the fight against AIDS. Who would have thought that more than thirty years ago, He Dayi knew nothing about medicine.

From 65438 to 0970, the field of biological science changed with each passing day, and various new biological disciplines came into being, with vigorous and exciting development momentum. At this time, He Dayi, who is studying physics at California Institute of Technology, became interested in medicine.

"My idea is very simple. Physics is a basic science and medicine is more practical. " In his junior and senior year, he changed to medicine. At the age of 24, he received a doctorate in medicine from Harvard University. After that, he returned to Los Angeles as an intern. At this time, he began to contact some AIDS patients. "At that time, there were very few such patients. I saw those young people die soon. I'm sure this is a new disease. Of course I'm a little scared, but I'm interested in it. I began to ask myself every day: what disease is this and where did it come from? I wonder what it is. Since then, I have had this strong feeling. " He Dayi is the fourth scientist to discover AIDS in the world.

1990, at the age of 37, he became Rockefeller Allen? Director of Damon AIDS Research Center. Many people say this is a risky decision. "At that time, I had my own research institute in California, and I did very well. It is a big decision to put everything down and come here. "

He Dayi knows that the establishment of an AIDS research institute is not a simple matter. The dilemma he faced was that everything had to start from scratch except the telephone.

At the same time, He Dayi thought it was a very lucky thing: at the age of 37, he was elected Rockefeller Allen? Director of Diamond AIDS Research Center. The same opportunities rarely appear in Europe, Japan and China.

Now, Allen? Diamond AIDS Research Center has more than 100 scientific research elites from all over the world. There are thirty people from China, including six top AIDS experts.
