On September 8th last year, the National Commendation Conference for Fighting the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic was grandly held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
Academy of Sciences In the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Chen Wei led the team to make major contributions: after the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, he immediately moved and led the team to Wuhan as soon as possible, and obtained achievements in basic research, vaccines, and protective drug research and development.
"There are known means, but unknown capabilities
" Rush up at critical moments , and take care of the crisis.
" Critical moments can be rushed up, critical moments are cleared out" Last August, Chen Wei was on a mission
On January 26 last year, on the fourth day that Wuhan closed the passage from Han to Wuhan, Chen Wei led a military medical expert team to Wuhan urgently to quickly carry out emergency scientific research on topics such as pathogen transmission mutations, rapid detection technology, and vaccine antibody development.
"The epidemic is the military situation, and the scene is the battlefield
Under the command of Chen Wei, in just 24 hours, a negative pressure tent-type mobile laboratory was quickly erected next to the Pharmacy Building of the General Hospital of the Central Theater District
In order to accelerate the effective integration of scientific research and clinical practice, Chen Wei led scientific researchers to conduct research in the fields of etiology, immunology, aerodynamics, etc.
There are no heroes who fall from the sky, only mortals who come forward
"To remember our mission, the key moment dash up, get out of the critical moment exclusion, this is the real Communist Party members
The key moment Communist Party Communist "I'll try it out first, if it's okay, you will try again"
"I'll try it out first, if it's okay, you will try again" In March 2020, at the most critical stage of Wuhan's epidemic prevention and control and vaccine development, Chen Wei ushered in her birthday
Vaccines are the most powerful weapon against the epidemic
Time to return to Wuhan 19 months ago
"I'll try it first, and if it's okay, you will try again
An ambulance stopped downstairs and stood by quietly; a bright red party flag was quietly hung on the wall of the injection room
.
Time passed by every minute
.
Half an hour after the vaccination, Chen Wei had no adverse reactions, and other members of the team also began to vaccinate
.
History will remember this moment of charge and victory for Chinese soldiers
.
On March 16, 2020, the new crown vaccine developed by the research team led by Chen Wei was approved and officially entered clinical trials; on April 12, the vaccine started phase II clinical trials; on August 11, the vaccine obtained the national invention patent and became The first domestic new crown vaccine to enter clinical practice and obtain patent rights; on February 25, 2021, this type of vaccine was approved by the State Food and Drug Administration for conditional marketing.

"The patent is ours, the original is ours, so we don't need to look at anyone's face on any occasion!" In just over 3 months in Wuhan, Chen Wei added a lot of gray hair, but her expression and words remained firm.
.
"My team and I will continue to work hard and live up to our mission"
"My team and I will continue to work hard and live up to our mission" Over the years, Chen Wei's scientific research results have always been associated with difficult tasks time and time again
.
This is not the first time that Chen Wei has "handed down" with the virus during his trip to Wuhan
.
In 1991, Chen Wei, who had just obtained a master's degree in engineering from Tsinghua University, joined the army
.
In the past 30 years, in the battle with the virus, she won one medal after another.
During the fight against SARS in 2003, Chen Wei and the research team entered the biosafety laboratory overnight, often working in the laboratory for more than ten or even dozens of hours
.
A few months later, the "recombinant human interferon ω" developed by the team has a good protective effect against SARS virus attacks
.
In 2014, there was a large-scale Ebola outbreak in West Africa and it spread quickly
.
At that time, there were no Ebola cases in China, and Chen Wei also stepped forward and led the team to Africa
.
In December of the same year, Chen Wei led his team to develop the world's first 2014 genotype Ebola vaccine
.
Since joining the army, Chen Wei's research objects have been diseases that ordinary people can't avoid
.
It is precisely because of her long-term experience in dealing with viruses that she and the scientific research team were able to develop a vaccine and put it into clinical trials as soon as possible during the new coronary pneumonia epidemic
.
"As a military medical researcher, I especially hope that our scientific research'battleship' can ride the wind and waves, and travel steadily and far
.
" Chen Wei said: "My team and I will continue to work hard and live up to our mission
.
"
