蒲慕明POO Mu-Ming 1948年出生，中國科學院院士，美國科學院外籍院士，現任中國科學院腦科學與智能技術卓越創新中心學術主任，上海腦科學與類腦研究中心主任。他是國際著名的神經生物學家和生物物理學家，他建立的“光漂白”技術至今仍是測量細胞內蛋白運動速度的標準實驗方法，他在膜蛋白動態運動、神經元發育和軸突導向、突觸形成和可塑性、神經環路的功能等領域都有重要貢獻。
家國天下 臨危受命
1981年、1982年、1983年三次回國開設講習班。
1984-1986年擔任清華大學生物科學與技術系首任系主任。
1989-1991年任香港科技大學建校籌備委員會委員。
1980-至今，蒲慕明持續發起美國科技教育協會前往中國偏遠落后的農村支教。
1999-2019年蒲慕明任中科院神經科學研究所首任所長。
矢志不渝 改革不止
2011年NATURE發文綜述蒲慕明對中國神經科學領域的貢獻。
-
樹立學習標桿Mu-ming Poo is nurturing a Shanghai neuroscience institute that offers a glimpse of his country's future as a bioscience superpower.
-
倡導批判性思維Poo encourages students to critique articles in Nature, Science and Cell, which are often considered unassailable in China. He arranges for renowned scientists to give lectures, and asks his students to grill them with challenging questions.
-
率先開展同行評估He evaluates faculty members and recruits on the basis of peer-reviewed publications and other achievements. To replace the bureaucratic review of scientific work in China, for example, Poo brought in an independent review system that applied even to esteemed CAS members.
-
開創國內第一The results are clear. ION researchers authored China's first neuroscience papers in Cell, Science, Neuron, Nature Neuroscience and Nature Cell Biology and, until 2005, the ION accounted for more than half of all top-level neuroscience publications from Chinese institutions.
-
拓展中國神經科學領域的版圖The ION's "primary accomplishment has been to put neuroscience on the map in China in a way that no other basic neuroscience-research institute in the country has done", says Richard Morris, a neuroscientist at the University of Edinburgh, UK, and a member of the institute's international advisory board.
-
輪轉制度 ION students — 20 or so graduate with PhDs each year — rotate through three different laboratories, evaluate their experiences and then choose a principal investigator as a thesis supervisor.

努力是通往成功的唯一途徑Young people, if they want to make it in sciences, must work hard.
2005年蒲慕明榮獲中華人民共和國國際科學技術合作獎
科學求真 實踐求誠
2016年蒲慕明獲得Gruber神經科學獎。
蒲慕明認為，我國科研工作者應該有忘我精神，更要有中國知識分子“先天下之憂而憂，后天下之樂而樂”傳統情懷，要培養有強烈社會責任感和使命感的科學家，努力解決科學發展和國家發展面臨的緊要問題，以科技成果報效國家。沒有愛國情懷作引領，沒有科學精神作支柱，沒有濃厚的原始興趣作導向，難以讓科研人員板凳甘坐十年冷，歷經無數次失敗，仍然在求索科學真理的道路上砥礪前行。
