Shen Beifen graduated from The Biophysics Department of Biology of Fudan University in 1965. From 1965 to 1968, he was a graduate student at the Institute of Radiology, Academy of Military Medical Sciences. He is now a researcher at the Institute of Basic Medicine, Academy of Military Medical Sciences. He is also a doctoral supervisor, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and academic leader in molecular immunology. Professor Shen has been engaged in biochemistry and immunology for many years, especially in the development and application of monoclonal antibodies. Since the 1980s, he has carried out a series of studies on the structure and function of human leukocyte differentiation antigens, cytokines and their receptors, and signal transduction of immune cells. In recent years, he has worked with experts from different disciplines on the research of detecting Spatial structure based on IL6/IL6R binding site and the designing of new functional molecules based on the stereo-structure information of mutual recognition between antigens and antibodies. At present, Professor Shen has published more than 200 papers on this kind of research and edited 2 monographs. He has won two second prizes for National Science and Technology Progress, two first prizes and eight second prizes for Military Science and Technology Progress. Professor Shen was elected an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1997, and has trained nearly 30 masters, doctors and postdocs so far.
