Professor Yunfeng Lin, Chief Scientist of Yunhai Biotech, was awarded the Advanced Materials Laureate (International Advanced Materials Lifetime Achievement Award).

Recently, the International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM) officially announced the list of winners of the 2025 "Advanced Materials Laureate" (International Advanced Materials Lifetime Achievement Award). Professor Yunfeng Lin, Chief Scientist of Yunhai Biology, successfully claimed this top honor in the field of materials science, in recognition of his outstanding research contributions to advanced materials science and technology. This award not only signifies international acclaim for Professor Yunfeng Lin’s research in the interdisciplinary field of nanomaterials (spanning physics, chemistry, and biology) but also highlights the cutting-edge influence of Chinese scholars in the global advanced materials sector, adding another significant international endorsement to China’s research on nanobiomaterials.

As a non-profit international academic organization headquartered in Sweden, IAAM takes "advancing materials toward global excellence" as its core mission. It has brought together over 83,000 top researchers and industry experts from more than 130 countries, serving as a key platform for international cooperation and academic exchanges in the global advanced materials field. Since its inception in 2013, the "Advanced Materials Laureate" awarded by IAAM has consistently stood as the "top honor benchmark" in materials science. This award aims to recognize researchers who have conducted pioneering studies in advanced materials science, engineering, and technology, achieved long-term outstanding results, and exerted a profound impact on the discipline’s development. To date, it has only been conferred upon 8 internationally renowned scientists, making its scarcity and authority self-evident.

Recipients of this prestigious honor are required to explore "uncharted research directions" in advanced materials, achieve major breakthroughs, and drive disciplinary progress. After winning the award, they are expected to deliver keynote speeches at IAAM’s flagship events such as the "Advanced Materials Congress" (e.g., the presentation "Nanomaterials - Physics, Chemistry and Biology" as mentioned in the certificate). Their research outcomes will also be included in IAAM’s open-access video journals, further facilitating knowledge dissemination and innovation within the field.

As a leading enterprise in the industrialization of nucleic acid tetrahedron technology, Yunhai Biology, leveraging the research team established by top scientists including Professor Yunfeng Lin, has formed a complete closed loop covering "basic research - technology transformation - industrial application". Professor Yunfeng Lin’s acquisition of this international award not only confirms the company’s technological leadership in the advanced materials field but also injects stronger international credibility into its efforts to promote the application of nucleic acid tetrahedron technology in areas such as ophthalmic disease treatment, central nervous system disease intervention, and general health care.
