The CAS Institute of Biophysics has conducted systematic studies of the interactions between membrane and membrane proteins in a move to further deepen the understanding of pathogeny of relevant diseases and provide new drug targets. The research took a second-class merit citation at the 2008 National Natural Science Award, a third-class merit citation at the 1989 National Natural Science Award, and a second-class merit citation at the 2016 Beijing Science and Technology Award.
