Academicians

Phil S. Baran is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard University, and a professor at the Scripps Research Institute. He is a globally renowned expert in the field of chemical synthesis. Having studied under Nobel laureate E. J. Corey, Baran is often referred to as a "scientist 20 years ahead of his peers." In the field of chemical synthesis, he has made groundbreaking achievements, including the first synthesis of the complex compound Palau'amine and the development of innovative methods such as C-H bond functionalization. For his outstanding contributions, he was awarded the MacArthur "Genius Grant" and is regarded as an authoritative leader in the global field of organic chemistry.

Academician Shen Yinchu is a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a bioengineering expert, often hailed as the "Father of Polyacrylamide" and the "Pioneer of China's Biochemical Industry." He developed the industrialization technology for the microbial catalysis method of producing acrylamide and established China’s first industrial-scale system for producing bulk chemical raw materials using biotechnology, paving the way for the application of biocatalysis in the chemical industry. In 2021, the National Functional Polymer Industry Committee awarded Academician Shen the "Lifetime Achievement Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Development of the Functional Polymer Industry." Our company, Shouxin Environmental Protection, a professional enterprise focusing on polyacrylamide, also benefits from Academician Shen's scientific research achievements, particularly his "Ten-Thousand-Ton-Scale Microbial Method for Acrylamide Production."
