1929 graduated from yenching university medical college.
1934, obtained the medical doctor's degree from Union Medical College.
194 1 year, the same village began to study penicillin and published papers. It was World War II, and the research and trial production of penicillin in the United States were conducted in secret. However, through various channels, Tongcun was finally allowed to visit the Northern Region Research Office (NRRL) of the United States Department of Agriculture, which was secretly conducting penicillin research at that time, and Squibb, Merck (which was studying streptomycin at that time) and Lilly, which were planning or conducting intermediate trial production of penicillin, and were allowed to obtain penicillin-producing bacteria. These strains were the initial strains of penicillin research and trial production in China in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
1942 received a doctorate in hygiene from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, and then stayed on as a teacher.
1946 returned to China to engage in experimental research on penicillin. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as deputy director and chief engineer of Shanghai No.3 Pharmaceutical Factory. Vice President and Honorary Dean of Shanghai Pharmaceutical Industry Research Institute. Is a pioneer in the cause of antibiotics in China.
195 1 The first batch of penicillin in China was successfully developed. Later, he presided over the research on the production technology of a series of antibiotic drugs such as oxytetracycline and neomycin, and successfully extended the deep culture technology of antibiotic production to light industry, agriculture and other industries.
As early as the mid-1950s, he put forward the research proposal of "aseptic animal" breeding, which was adopted by the State Science and Technology Commission and included in the development plan of natural science in China, pointing out a new direction and way for medical and life science research.
1957, the same village gloriously joined the China * * * production party.
From 65438 to 0958, Tongcun was transferred to Shanghai Institute of Pharmaceutical Industry to lead the research of antibiotic production technology and the search for new antibiotics.
196 1 year was promoted to vice president. Under his leadership, the production processes of chlortetracycline, streptomycin, neomycin, tetracycline, oxytetracycline, erythromycin, kanamycin, neomycin and cephalosporin C have been popularized and applied in factories. As early as the early 1960s, he foresaw the prospect of semi-synthetic antibiotics. With the cooperation of Shanghai No.3 Pharmaceutical Factory, he organized and guided the researchers to study the cleavage of ciprofloxacin by amidase produced by E.coli 1 13, and successfully prepared 6- aminopenicillinic acid, thus studying a series of semi-synthetic penicillins. In the process of searching for new antibiotics, we found an effective method to treat Candida albicans infection. At Tong Cun's suggestion, Caanen was used to treat prostatic hypertrophy, which achieved good results and made a successful exploration for expanding the application scope of antibiotics.
1950- 1966 Tong Cun was elected as a member of the first, second and third sessions of the Shanghai Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, a deputy to the third National People's Congress, a member of the editorial board of the China Pharmacopoeia 1953 edition, and the editor of the four volumes of the second and third national antibiotic academic conferences. 1978- 1984, elected as the representative of the seventh and eighth people's congresses in Shanghai, and honorary chairman of the Shanghai Society of Microbiology.
1April 1994 12 died in Shanghai.
