A Nobel Prize winner
Print Edition
Chinese scientist Tu Youyou, 85, shared the Nobel Prize in medicine with William Campbell of the US and Satoshi Omura of Japan for her research in using artemisinin to treat malaria.
The first Chinese to receive a Nobel in science, Tu has attracted much public attention and also revived debate about traditional Chinese medicine since the prize was announced in October.
The extraction and use of artemisinin is in line with modern Western medical principles, but Tu said her research was based on a traditional Chinese recipe she discovered in an old book of ancient remedies.
Traditional Chinese medicine has been a controversial topic in recent years, with some arguing that it is superior to Western medicine and others arguing that it is outdated.
The State Council, China’s cabinet, has drafted a new law that calls for strengthening the use of traditional Chinese medicine in the modern-day health system.
