联盟简介

打通实验室到病床的全链路

卓健生命科学与健康发展联盟(ALLIANCE FOR LIFE SCIENCES AND HEALTH DEVELOPMENT,简称 ZALSH)成立于2018年3月,由来自中国内地、香港、新加坡及英国的二十余位生命科学领域资深学者联合发起,在香港特别行政区依法注册,是一个聚焦生命科学与公共健康领域的非营利性国际学术联盟。联盟名取"卓越健康"之意,寄望以严谨的学术态度和开放的合作精神,推动人类健康事业向前发展。

生命科学研究成果的产业转化周期漫长,基础研究到临床应用之间存在系统性断裂。ZALSH 致力于打通"实验室到病床"的全链路,为生物医药、公共健康、医疗管理等领域的研究者和从业者搭建学术交流、成果评审、人才培养的综合平台,推动亚太地区健康事业的高质量发展。

创立背景

二十一世纪以来,生命科学领域的技术创新以前所未有的速度向前推进。基因组学、蛋白质组学、合成生物学的突破,以及精准医疗理念的兴起,使得"将研究转化为疗法"成为整个行业最迫切的议题。然而在亚太地区,尽管有无数高质量的基础研究成果在实验室中积累,从研究到应用的转化通道却长期缺乏有组织的支撑力量。

正是在这一背景下,一批来自中港新英的生命科学学者决定联合起来,共同搭建一个中立、专业、跨境的学术服务平台。2018年3月,联盟在香港正式宣告成立,首批理事共21人,涵盖生物医药、公共健康、医疗器械、医院管理等多个细分领域的资深专家。

使命与愿景

ZALSH 的使命是:通过建立严格、公正、透明的学术评审与奖项体系,激励生命科学领域的创新与突破;通过科研课题专项扶持计划,为有价值的研究提供资金与资源支持;通过三级会员体系,聚合亚太地区志同道合的研究者与从业者,共建一个开放的学术共同体。

联盟的长远愿景是成为亚太地区生命科学与公共健康领域最具公信力的学术服务机构,让每一项有价值的研究都能找到它应有的位置——在学术殿堂得到认可,在产业链条得到支持,在社会价值层面得到彰显。

业务范围

联盟的核心业务涵盖六大板块:其一为三级会员体系,面向全球生命科学领域的研究者与从业者开放注册,提供学术资源、年会注册、课题申报等专属权益;其二为年度卓越奖评选,设有基础医学研究奖、临床转化创新奖、公共健康贡献奖、生物技术突破奖、青年学者新锐奖五大类别,每年11月于香港颁奖;其三为科研课题专项扶持计划,每年接受申报,资助领域覆盖生物医药、公共健康、医疗器械、健康管理、临床医学五大方向;其四为依托启元生命科学研究院开展的学术评审服务,包括论文评审、成果评估、技术鉴定;其五为专家职务聘任体系,涵盖特聘研究员、高级研究员、研究员、助理研究员四个等级;其六为独立运作的伦理审查委员会,为涉及人体实验、基因编辑、临床试验等伦理敏感领域的研究提供专业审查意见。

发展现状

截至2026年,联盟已覆盖亚太地区18个国家与地区,注册会员逾4200人,累计资助科研课题260余项,评审学术成果超过800份,聘任各级专家研究员逾300人。联盟秘书处设于香港总部,同时在深圳和新加坡设有联络处,形成了覆盖大中华区及东南亚的区域服务网络。

联盟每年11月在香港科学园举办年度颁奖典礼暨学术年会,汇聚来自亚太各地的学者、研究机构负责人、产业界代表共同参与,已成为本地区生命科学领域最具影响力的年度盛会之一。

下属机构

启元生命科学研究院(Qiyuan Institute of Life Sciences,QILS)于2018年9月挂牌运营,是联盟专司学术评审与专家发展的下属平台。研究院设学术评审部与专家发展部,前者负责课题与成果的专业评审,后者负责各级专家职务的聘任与管理。此外,联盟独立运作的伦理审查委员会于2021年3月成立,由7名委员组成,其中包括1名法律专家与1名社会伦理学者,专门处理涉及伦理敏感议题的研究审查申请。

Alliance Profile

Connecting the full path from laboratory research to clinical care

ALLIANCE FOR LIFE SCIENCES AND HEALTH DEVELOPMENT (ZALSH) was founded in Hong Kong in March 2018 by senior scholars from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. It is a non-profit international academic alliance focused on life sciences and public health.

ZALSH is committed to bridging the long gap between basic research and clinical application. It provides a platform for academic exchange, achievement review, research support, and talent development across biomedicine, public health, medical management, and related fields.

Founding Background

Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, genomics, proteomics, synthetic biology, and precision medicine have advanced rapidly. Yet in the Asia-Pacific region, many high-quality basic research outcomes still lack organized channels for translation and application.

Against this background, a group of life sciences scholars jointly built a neutral, professional, cross-border academic service platform. ZALSH was officially established in Hong Kong with 21 founding council members covering biomedicine, public health, medical devices, and hospital management.

Mission and Vision

ZALSH promotes innovation in life sciences through rigorous, fair, and transparent academic review and awards; supports valuable research through dedicated grant programs; and brings together researchers and practitioners through a three-level membership system.

Its long-term vision is to become one of the most trusted academic service institutions for life sciences and public health in the Asia-Pacific region, helping valuable research gain recognition, support, and social impact.

Scope of Work

The Alliance operates across six areas: membership certification, annual Excellence Awards, dedicated research grant support, academic review through Qiyuan Institute of Life Sciences, expert appointment, and independent ethics review for sensitive research topics.

Current Development

By 2026, ZALSH has reached 18 Asia-Pacific countries and regions, with more than 4,200 registered members, over 260 funded research projects, more than 800 reviewed academic achievements, and over 300 appointed expert researchers.

Affiliated Platform

Qiyuan Institute of Life Sciences, launched in September 2018, serves as the Alliance's academic review and expert development platform. ZALSH also operates an independent Ethics Review Committee established in March 2021.
