China has its first Nobel Prize in Science. And the winner, 84-year-old Chinese scientist Tu Youyou, also became the first Chinese woman to win the Nobel Prize. She won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with William C. Campbell, an Irish-born researcher, and Satoshi Omura of Japan. The three winners will share the prize of 8 million Swedish crowns ($920,000).
Half of the Prize was given to William C. Campbell and Satoshi Omura for their new treatment against illness caused by roundworm parasites (寄生虫). Tu Youyou won the other half of the Prize for developing a medicine, Artemisinin(青蒿素), which can help people fight malaria(疟疾). More than 240 million people in Africa have benefited from the treatment, according to the WHO (World Health Organization), and more than 1.5 million lives have been saved since 2000, thanks to the medicine.
Tu Youyou started her research in 1969 when she was chosen as the director of a government project to find anti-malaria medicines. She and her workmates studied ancient Chinese medicine books and many different traditional treatments. They did nearly 200 experiments before they finally succeeded in getting the material Qinghaosu, later known as Artemisinin, in the 1970s. This medicine became the standard treatment for malaria in the WHO's list of important medicines.
Premier Li Keqiang congratulated Tu for winning the Prize. He said, "Tu's winning the prize shows China's progress in scientific and technological field, and marks a great contribution of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to human health."
Although it's a late honor for Tu and the world's recognition of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tu's winning the first Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine makes Chinese scientists encouraged and confident to achieve more success in the future.
