The winners of the inaugural award were Professor CHEN Ke-ji, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Director of Cardiovascular Center, Xiyuan Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences; and Professor Tommy CHENG, Henry Bronson Professor of Pharmacology at Yale University and Chairman of the Consortium for the Globalization of Chinese Medicine.展开更多
