JS Chiao Professor J. S. Chiao (Jiao),9/13/1918 - 12/22/2009, the famous microbiologist from Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology of Chinese Academia of Sciences, a honorable diplomat of American Microbiology Society, died at 15:50 on December 22, 2009 in the East China Hospital in Shanghai, China, at the age of 91, who spent his 60 years in research of Microbiology. Born on September 13, 1918, native of Hebei Province Pingshan. He was the first one in his family received formal education. In September 1936, he achieved excellent test scores and began his study in the Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University with the noble ideal of saving Chinese science.

On July 1941 after graduating from college, he completed his B.Sc. degree there in 1941 from National Southwestern Associated University (NSAU), which was organized by Tsinghua, Nankai, and Beijing universities, relocated to Kunming during the Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). Later he was appointed as research assistant in the Department of Chemistry at NSAU.

In September 1947, he received Washington State University Scholarships in the United States to study organic chemistry, and obtained his a master's degree in organic chemistry in March 1949. He continued his education in the University of Wisconsin, Madison and received master degree in 1950,and his PhD in March 1953.

In March 1953, he became a senior researcher evelopment and utilization of micro-organisms of the the Grain Processing Company in Muscatine, Iowa. After learning that New China needed the support of scientific knowledge, with the desire and determination to contribute to achieving the aspirations of the newly founded country, he gave up the good and favorable life ,overcome countless obstacles, and returned to the motherland in March 1955.

From March 1955 to August 2004, he served as Associate Research Staff, researchers, research director at Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology (former CAS Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology). He is also chairman of Chinese Society for Microbiology, president of Shanghai Society of Microbiology, State Science and Technology Development Center of Biotechnology Consultant, Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of vice chairman of the Committee of Experts and other duties.

He also served as chairman of the Chinese Society of Microbiology, the founder of the "Biological Engineering News ", editor of the" micro projects ", and the Chinese Society of Microbiology to the world, successfully organizeded the 1997 and the tenth largest international Actinomycetes Biology under his leadership, this symposia greatly improved the standing of Chinese Society of Microbiology in the International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS), won the praise of the Chinese microbial academia. Given his Research in microbiology outstanding contribution, he was elected by American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Honorary Member. Meanwhile, as a sector representative, he served as Shanghai Municipal People's Congress the seventh and eighth representative.

Professor Chiao (Jiao) made a significant contributions to microbial physiology and biochemistry and bio-engineering basic research for the development of microbiology in China, modern biotechnology, and personnel training . He paid attention microbiology and biotechnology trends, timely guidance to the Chinese microbiology research in the use of micro- Bio-physiological studies to enhance the promotion of industrial technology, to carry out the work of microbial genomes of uncultured microbial culture and the strengthening of research and other key development direction to seize the important opportunities, and strive to leapfrog development. He targeted industrial applications for decades on end, the sense of basic research carried out to obtain fruitful results, and promoted Microbial technology industrial development in China, and deepen the basic theory of Microbiology.

Over the years, Professor Chiao won numerable research rewords, and prizes including the second prize of National Natural Science Award, Chinese Academy of Science and Technology Progress Award, third prize of National Invention Awards, a major scientific and technological achievements of Shanghai and Shanghai Science and Technology Progress Award and other honors.

He has trained a number of Mastersand Ph.D. graduate students and postdoctoral fellows guided the growth of a group of outstanding young scientists. Even after retirement, he continued to work for the development of national scientific research, provide leadership for the development of research proposals until early of 2009.
