These are Asian scientists that can change the world

Malik Pierce, virus guard. At the end of 2002, a mysterious respiratory disease was born in the Chinese province of Guangdong and then spread to Hong Kong and beyond the world. Strong acute respiratory syndrome, Sarce came out of nowhere, killed 800 people in more than 24 countries. Bilance could be bigger if it hadn't been this virologist from the University of Hong Kong, one of the expert participants in emergency diseases. Although the virus could kill him, Pierce and his colleagues quickly found the cause and created measures to control him.

Jingmei Li versus breast cancer. The scientist from Singapore's genomic institute analyzes information received by women with breast cancer to detect risk factors that make him more susceptible to the disease. To make these predictions, Lee requires genetic marketing, as well as life - style factors such as obesity associated with a number of tumoral diseases. It also studies mammographic images to study breast density. I believe genetics is the way to go. It doesn't solve everything, but at least it can identify the population in risk so that doctors can send these people for examinations, she says.

Huey-Jen Jenny Sue, air guard.

After spending a decade measuring home and workplace levels so that you know how they affect your health, Huey-Jey-Jen-Jen proposed to Taiwan's rulers something radical; adopting rules to guarantee the quality of the air inside the buildings. In 2005 this country imposed restrictions on air pollution levels in the interior, and in 2012 the government took laws to regulate them. It has been said that the scientist and her team had so much scientific evidence that no one could challenge this decision.

Susan Yusup turns garbage into fuel

Engineer Susan Yusup turns Malaysia's agrarian waste into biodiesel. For this reason, use used kitchen oil, tyre oil, and discarded glass from palm oil refinerys. Especially when she learned that rice growers around her university were fighting parasites, bad plants with harmful health pesticides, Yusuf began to create safer biopesticides based on vegetable components. To produce, she adopted techniques and installations in her laboratory.

Loh Kian Ping, from frogs to granite.

As a child, Loh Kian Ping fell in love with science after seeing frog specimens. Decades later and at Singapore's national university physics chemist began to be inspired by frogs, but to make one of his most key discoveries. Imitating how amphibites stick to the leaves, Loh developed a method to develop the graphen on “vfera” silici, which can help improve industrial applications like improved optical communications.

Yvonne That Lian Lim, wife of the feds. It has been working more than two decades to reduce parasitic infections in the indigenous population in Malaysia. As part of her doctorate Lim collected child samples of individuals in various areas west of the country to verify if there were signs of protozoar parasites as she went through huts and people were saying: “the female wife is coming to”. She used to take it in humor, which she did so popular among people. Two decades later Lim is the parasiologists and vice - decimanes at the University of Malaysia Medical School in Kuala Lumpur, where he continues to study parasites in indigenous tribes. It has found that the rate of worm infections is persistent only in certain populations and generally in countries affected by poverty and lack of hygiene.

vivian Yam, lady of light

Some of the electricity produced at the world level is about lighting, and some of that energy is lost because of inefficient lamps, some are more, but it is made up of dangerous materials such as Wednesdays. Vivian Yam, chemist at Hong Kong University works to produce options that are free and ecological. It designs organic editions that emit lights that can be used to improve television screens.

Jin- Soo Kim, the Ginomit editor.

Jin- Soo Kim is a scientist from South Korea, a pioneer of the development of gene editing technique, CRISPR, what is commonly known as genetic copyrights. He actually wants to improve the genome by changing it. It came out on the pages of newspapers all over the world a few years ago for genetic engineering creation of some kind of raw muscle pig. These double - muscle pigs were designed to produce larger amounts of meat.

Lin-Shan Lee wants Google to speak.

He spends a lot of time exploring online courses, not learning a language, or studying ancient history, is actually training for an algorithm to draw key words and phrases of audio and video recordings. As an informal engineer at Taiwan National University, Taipei has created a sound recognition software in Mandarin and is working to create a speech version of Google.

Nary Kim, the gene explosion.

Narry Kim, who works at Seoul National University, has created a pioneer job in small RNA molecules that regulate the genetic expression. He could see how they were created that so far have been a mystery. Kim is an inspiration to young people who want to devote themselves to science in South Korea.
