Walk into Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science in Chinese Academy of Sciences , at the end of the corridor, there is an inconspicuous small compartment - this is the office of researcher Chen Lingling. Chen Lingling works most of the time at her desk so that she can walk out of the compartment and communicate with her team members at any time.
After being elected as a representative of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Chen Lingling was busier than before. "Only by working hard and working hard to do your job better."
Since his student days, Chen Lingling has developed strong curiosity about the unknown areas of life sciences. Non-coding ribonucleic acid is called "dark matter" in living organisms, and there is increasing evidence that some major diseases are related to imbalance in regulation of non-coding ribonucleic acids. However, more than 10 years ago, this research was just starting internationally and was still blank in China, which became the direction of Chen Lingling's research.
In 2011, Chen Lingling gave up her generous treatment abroad and returned to China. Starting from an empty room, recruiting teams, applying for funds, and cultivating graduate students... The laboratory was initially established and the conditions were arduous. Chen Lingling was not afraid of difficulties and was willing to move towards the scientific highland.
Over the years, Chen Lingling has led the team to create a long non-coding and circular ribonucleic acid research technology system, and has made a series of breakthrough achievements in revealing its generation rules, mechanisms of action and its association with human diseases, enhancing my country's international influence in this field. To date, her team has published more than 60 scientific citation index (SCI) papers and obtained 4 authorized invention patents. She also serves as the editorial board of the international journals Cell and Science. Although
has been immersed in the "world of ribonucleic acid" for more than 10 years, every time a new puzzle is solved, Chen Lingling will still cheer like a child. "Every time a new mystery is revealed, it means that it is one step closer to the goal of serving human health."
When he was in college, Chen Lingling joined the party. Now, as a member of the Party Committee of the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, she pays special attention to cultivating young party members in the team. "After joining the party, young people have a heavier mission, and they are full of vigorous and upward strength in promoting each other's party building learning and scientific research." Chen Lingling said that after becoming a representative of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, she has more responsibility and obligation to help young party members in the team grow, so that they can take the lead as soon as possible.
Like many scientists who work in the field of basic scientific research, Chen Lingling is always too busy to care about her family. As an old party member, the mother said: "We understand that she sacrificed her family for everyone."
