Dr. Zoon was the director of the Division of Cytokine Biology in CBER, 1988–1992, where she directed the research and review of cytokines, growth factors, and cellular products. Her major area of research is the structure and function of human interferons. She received her B.S. degree, cum laude, in chemistry from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and was granted a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Zoon is an associate editor of the Journal of Interferon Research and the author of more than 100 scientific papers. She was president of the International Society for Interferon and Cytokine Research, 2000–2001. She previously served on the Board of Directors of the Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences and was the first vice president. Currently, she is a NIH liaison to the Board of the International Association of Biologicals and on the WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization. Dr. Zoon has received numerous awards, including BioPharm Person of the Year Award, 1992; Genetic Engineering News Award, 1994, for streamlining and improving the regulatory process for biologics and biotechnology products; and National Cancer Patients’ “Grateful Patients Award,” 1996. She was elected to the Institute of Medicine in 2002.

    Biography :
    Yu-Long Yin was born on 23/01/1956 in Hunan, China. Prof. Yin attended Hunan Normal University, Changsha, China, where he obtained a Bachelor degree in Biology in 1978. He attended Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, China from 1979 to 1982 and Queens University of Belfast, Belfast, UK from 1994 to 1997, from which he obtained his Masters and Doctorate degrees in Animal Nutrition, respectively. He began his academic career as an assistant professor at Institute of Subtropical Agriculture, Changsha in 1986 and rose to the rank of professor in 1994. During this period,he was privileged to work with top scientists in advanced laboratories in the US, Germany and Canada, where he researched extensively into the subject of ileal digestibility and made notable contribution to knowledge on the subject of development and standardization of ileal digestibility in pigs. Back home in China, Prof. Yin has researched extensively and characterized virtually all the common chinese feed ingredients used for pig feeding for their nutritive value and ileal digestibility contents. This has led to the development of up-to-date feed database used extensively in the chinese feed industry. Apart from enhancing growth rate and profit margin in the pork industry, the development of the ileal digestibility methods and the use of ileal digestible values in feed formulation has the added advantage of reducing nitrogen and phosphorus emmision to the environment, when used for feed formulation. Prof. Yin has won many international and national awards amongst which are the prestigious German Max-planck Gesellschaft Scholarship, 1985 and 1995, National Science and Technology Progress Prize of China in 1996, 1997 and 2008 amongst others. He has published a total of 364 scientific papers (131 papers in English and in Chinese), which have greatly advanced the field of animal nutrition worldwide.
