A few days ago, the National Natural Science Foundation of China announced the funding list of the National Natural Science Foundation of China in 2022, and the "development and steady state maintenance of blood brain barrier" project declared by Professor Zhang Jingjing, an affiliated hospital affiliated to Guangdong Medical University, won the National Outstanding Youth Science Foundation Funding and funding is 2 million yuan, becoming the first young scientist to obtain national high -level young talent projects in the medical field of universities and scientific research institutes in western Guangdong.

Clear love is only for China

Zhang Jingjing, 38, is the first winner of the "Guangdong Jieqing Science Fund" (2017), the first "Guangdong Provincial Jieqing Science Fund". He obtained a bachelor's degree at Nankai University in 2005, obtained the Master of Mop Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) and Dresden Institute of Technology in 2007. He is engaged in post -doctoral work at the German National Molecular Medical Center. In 2013, under the joint funding of the German German Academic Exchange Center and the German Leibniz Society, he was engaged in the two -year -old Leibnitz visit scholar at the Leibniz Molecular Pharmacology Institute in Germany.

"The powerful motherland is the backing and confidence of our youth, so it has also strengthened my belief that I returned to China and returned to the motherland." In 2010, Zhang Jingjing participated in the "Nanyuexing" event in Guangdong Province's second 100 overseas experts. When he invested in domestic talents, he set the goal of returning to China. He said: "Over the country, the" clear love, only for China ', is the strongest voice of our generation of young people from the heart. "After completing post -doctoral training in Germany's most advanced national molecular medical research center, facing Dr. Zhang Jingjing did not hesitate to stay in Europe's superior life and working environment. He chose to return to China and join the domestic scientific research and development cause that urgently need scientific research talents in China.

In March 2011, before returning to the country, Zhang Jingjing won the "National Excellent Self -funded International Student" award issued by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China and the National Study Abroad Fund to recognize his outstanding performance during overseas study and work. With this impressive transcript, Zhang Jingjing only wanted to give him a country who raised him. Returning to China was the initial and most firm idea in his heart. In 2011, he resolutely chose to return to China. After being recommended by the Chinese Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, he was introduced to work as a high -level overseas overseas study personnel. Establish the first advanced zebrafish model animal research platform in western Guangdong. Zhang Jingjing said that letting his own research serve the construction of the motherland and the integration of his personal pursuit into the development of the motherland is the self -worth he wants to achieve. Back to China is his most valuable choice!

Dream chasing scientific research, recognized by many parties

Zhang Jingjing's professional research direction is "the mechanism of developmental formation of cerebral blood vessels and the mechanism of blood and brain barrier function damage in brain diseases", which mainly uses a new model of animal zebrafish for cerebrovascular function. In Zhang Jingjing's laboratory, there are tens of thousands of zebrafish with more than a hundred different genetic mutations. The small fish with black and white stripes with black and white stripes can be used to simulate the symptoms of most human diseases, so as to explore the disease mechanism. And the development of treatment strategy.

"The genome sequence of zebrafish is as high as 85%homologous as humans, and it is vertebrate like humans. Its organizational structure and growth and development process and people have high similarity. Therefore You can achieve a breakthrough in life science research. "Zhang Jingjing picked it in, and before returning to China, he had made a lot of breakthroughs in the field: the first report on the international American Academy of Sciences (PNAS) reported it for the first time. Function and mechanisms in neurological epidermal cell barrier, blood -brain barrier, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular development.

For more than ten years back to China, Zhang Jingjing has presided over 5 national natural science funds projects, 2 key R & D topics of "Development Programming and Metabolic Regulation" of the Ministry of Science and Technology, 1 German Leibniz Society Fund, and Guangdong Outstanding Youth Science Fund 7 provincial and ministerial topics; in terms of results output, a total of 48 SCI papers are published, and the authors of communication or communications are published in PNAS, Autophagy, Embo J, Embo REP and other first -class journals. The inventor was authorized by the national authorization patent.

In addition, as an recognition of its academic level and scientific research, Zhang Jingjing is currently serving as executive director of the Zebra Society of the Chinese Animal Society, a member of the Anti -Aging Society of Chinese Senior Sciences and Senior Medicine Society, and a member of the Aquatic Experimental Society of Animal Society of the Chinese Experimental Animal Society. It is also the deputy editor of the SCI journal Frontiers in Physiology and deputy editor of Anim Models Exp Med.

Each preaching, leaning

"Inheritance is the light of the hope of scientific research. It is important to cultivate excellent scientific researchers and explore scientific issues." Zhang Jingjing, who grows from outstanding students to outstanding young scientists, understands the importance of knowledge inheritance and talent training. People grab both hands.

Faced with the thirsty students, he taught each other, and the students said, "He has the wisdom of his teachers and the kindness of his elder brother." Over the years, the students he have directed have won many times and won the "Guangdong Medical University Outstanding Master's thesis Award" and "The Talent Training Award of the Zebra Fish Branch of the Chinese Animal Society in the Year." Many masters and doctoral students have continuously published dozens of papers in the internationally renowned SCI academic journal. "Leading into the door to go global" for students to give students a greater stage. Zhang Jingjing led the research team and Germany Leibniz Molecular Pharmaceutical Institute, Taiwan Central Plains University, the Institute of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Tsinghua University and other units to establish a joint training system for research cooperation and exchange. Expand students' scientific research horizons. While studying the work of scientific research and teaching, Zhang Jingjing also actively participated in various social development and people's livelihood affairs in Zhanjiang City, fulfilling the social responsibility of a scientist "serving the society, pursuing truth, and spreading truth". In recent years, the science popularization knowledge in the field of primary and elementary students has been deeply penetrated into the grassroots rural areas of western Guangdong.

Scholars should not be unprepared, so far away. In the laboratory, Zhang Jingjing touched the mystery of life, and output high -quality industry -university -research integration results; adhere to the three -foot podium in the classroom, and students and teachers and friends to cultivate high -level medical talents. He gave the clearest love back to the school that raised him, cultivated his school, rooted in western Guangdong, and returned to society.
