The LUI Che Woo Prize – Prize for World Civilization has announced the three laureates for 2019. The LUI Che Woo Prize, awarded by Galaxy Entertainment Group Chairman Lui Che Woo, promotes the building of a better world by properly recognizing those people or organizations who have made remarkable contributions to the welfare of mankind and encouraging them to persevere with their efforts in the same direction.

Commended for their exceptional achievements to promote world civilization for a better world, the 2019 laureates are:

Sustainability Prize – The Nature Conservancy
Welfare Betterment Prize – Dr Jennifer A. Doudna
Positive Energy Prize – Ms Fan Jinshi

The Nature Conservancy is a global environmental non-profit organization with the mission “to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends.” It brings together individuals, local communities, government departments and private businesses to collectively tackle the natural world’s biggest and most important challenges such as climate change, water scarcity and food shortages.

With the support of more than 400 scientists and over one million members, it is positively impacting conservation work in 72 countries across six continents; making it one of the most effective and wide-reaching environmental groups in the world since it was founded in 1951.

The Nature Conservancy

Dr Doudna, winner of the 2019 Welfare Betterment Prize, is an American biochemist and co-inventor of CRISPR-Cas9 – a revolutionary genome-editing technology allowing genetic material to be added, removed or altered in animal and plant cells.

Faster, cheaper and more accurate than any previous gene-editing tools, CRISPR-Cas9 has been called one of the world’s most monumental discoveries and could be the key to treating or preventing inherited genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease, as well as more complex diseases such as cancer, heart disease and HIV. The technology could also help to engineer plants that are resistant to climate change and crops with better nutritional value.

Dr Jennifer A. Doudna

Ms Fan Jinshi, winner of the 2019 Positive Energy Prize, has earned the nickname “Daughter of Dunhuang” for her dedication to studying and preserving the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, China, which are a significant cultural site housing one of the world’s most important collections of Buddhist culture.

A rare woman in her field, Ms Fan has overcome many social and financial challenges and remained heroically committed to her duty for 56 years – greatly advancing the archeological and historical understanding of this significant cultural treasure. Her major contributions to its digital preservation and broad dissemination have defined new standards for successful cultural preservation.

Ms Fan Jinshi

Dr. Lui Che Woo, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Governors cum Prize Council of the LUI Che Woo Prize said, “I am deeply honoured to unveil and collectively celebrate our three laureates of the 2019 LUI Che Woo Prize. Each has made enormous contributions to world civilization – enhancing sustainability, bettering the welfare of humankind, and promoting positive energy. My sincerest congratulations to the laureates, and my heartfelt gratitude to the Prize Council, the Prize Recommendation Committee and the Selection Panels for their concerted efforts to help us recognize these exceptional laureates. Together, we will go forth in our mission to sow the seeds of goodwill and use the international platform of the LUI Che Woo Prize to help build a better tomorrow.”

The Award Presentation Ceremony of the 2019 LUI Che Woo Prize will take place on 3 October 2019.
