List of modern scientists from Shanghai

Shanghai is commonly regarded as the biggest city in China. Historically and presently, Shanghai is the cultural center of Wu (south Jiangsu) and Yue (Zhejiang), or, of the Yangtze Delta Region.

This entity would only focus on those modern scientists from Shanghai.
