中山大学生物学学科百年发展史(1924—2024)

Centennial history of biology discipline at Sun Yat-sen University(1924-2024)

中山大学生物学学科从1924年至今已走过百年历程,历史悠久,成绩斐然,涌现出陈焕镛、罗宗洛、朱洗、蒲蛰龙、陈心陶、张宏达、林浩然等杰出科学家、教育家。经历了创业初期的不易、高校内迁的艰辛、院系调整岭大生物学科并入的受益,也经历了陈焕镛和植物研究所调出的削弱、蒲蛰龙调入的补强。改革开放后,屈良鹄、徐安龙等一批学人归国创业,学科梯队建设成效明显。生物学科研究人员始终坚持面向国家重大科研需求和国际科学发展前沿,紧密围绕关键问题,在寄生虫研究与实践、生物防治、植物区系与分类、水产养殖、作物育种、RNA组学、生物多样性等多个学科领域开展了创新性研究与实践,为我国科学事业发展与进步作出了贡献。动物学、昆虫学、植物学、生物化学与分子生物学先后成为国家重点学科。2017年开始,中大生物学和生态学均成为“双一流”建设学科,进入学科建设国家梯队。

Since 1924,the biology discipline of Sun Yat-sen University has gone through a long history and made remarkable achievements and emerged a number of outstanding scientists and educators,such as Chen Huanyong,Luo Zongluo,Zhu Xi,Pu Zhelong,Chen Xintao,Zhang Hongda,and Lin Haoran.The department experienced difficulties in its early establishment,the hardships of university relocation between 1938 and 1945,but also gained the benefits from incorporating Lingnan University's biology discipline during departmental restructuring.In the early 1980s,scholars such as Qu Lianghu and Xu Anlong returned to China and set up their labs in the biology department.Since then,the biology discipline achieved great progress.Closely focused on the national needs and the international scientific frontier,the biologists in the department have always adhered to critical issues and carried out innovative research and practice in many areas,such as parasite research and practice,biological control,flora and classification,aquaculture,crop breeding,RNA omics,and biodiversity.Importantly,Zoology,Entomology,Botany,Biochemistry,and Molecular Biology have successively become national key disciplines.Since 2017,both the Biology and Ecology of Sun Yat-sen University have become“Double First-Class”initiative construction disciplines and entered the national echelon of discipline construction.
