LIU Chenli Elected EMBO Associate Member, Following 14 Scientists from the Chinese mainland Previously Elected by EMBO over the Past 60 Years

The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) announced on June 30 that Professor LIU Chenli, a professor at the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has been elected an EMBO Associate Member.

Professor LIU has been conducting systematic research into the rational design principles of synthetic biological systems. His work helped with the identification of mathematical rules that describe the quantitative relationships among population-level phenotypes, single-cell phenotypes, and genotypes in cell populations. These findings guided the design and synthesis of functional biological systems.

Founded in 1964 and headquartered in Heidelberg, Germany, EMBO is one of the most prestigious academic organizations in the international life sciences community. It brings together more than 2,200 leading researchers, including more than 90 Nobel laureates.

Since EMBO's founding, 14 scientists from the Chinese mainland have been elected Associate Members.
