Brief Introduction:

Dr. Yigang Tong graduated from Fudan University and got his Ph.D degree in the Academy of Military Medical Sciences. He received postdoctoral training in the University of British Columbia (UBC), where he received Michael Smith Award. He is currently a professor in State Key Laboratory of Pathogen and Biosecurity. He has published more than 130 papers in international journals such as Nature, PNAS, Lance Infectious Disease, Journal of Virology, Journal of General Virology, Emerging Infectious Diseases, Journal of Biological Chemistry, etc. His major research interests are etiologic agents of emerging infectious diseases, high throughput sequencing techniques and bioinformatics approaches for novel pathogen identification and characterization, and bacteriophage. He has invented a PCR-based technique to clone full-length cDNA of multiple exon genes from blood cells without mRNA preparation and reverse transcription. He discovered that the high frequency reads in deep sequencing data represents the terminal sequences of the sequenced linear genome, which provide a cheap and convenient method for identification of bacteriophage genome termini. After the outbreak of Ebola Epidemic in West Africa, he went to Sierra Leone as the Chief Scientist with the Chinese Medical team. Besides the Ebola testing work, he and his team sequenced hundreds of Ebola samples and published the results on Nature (Nature 2015;524:93-6). An outbreak of piglet diarrhoea occurred in Guangdong Province in 2017, with the pathogen unknown. The research team used high-throughput sequencing technology to discover a new coronavirus, which was proven to originate from bats in Guangdong Province through source-tracing and evolution analysis. This research has been published in Nature magazine (Nature 2018; 556: 255-258).
