在2009年8月16日，六名在约翰霍普金斯医学院攻读博士学位的北大生物系毕业生（刘音、黄晴、魏志魁、郭俊杰、刘畅、余涛)和四名在美国的北大生物系95级毕业生（黄果、刘志华、 徐冬一、郭荣) 联合组织发起了第一届北大生物系校友聚会。这次聚会在约翰霍普金斯医学院的Mountcastle auditorium举行，面向所有的北大生物系毕业生（包括北大生物系本科，硕士，博士毕业生，和在北大曾就读的北医和协和生）以及现从事与生物医学有关的北大其他专业的毕业生。经过会议组织者和年级负责人等多方面的努力，我们成功地联系上了数百位校友，并最终约有150名北大生物系校友及他们的朋友和家属参加了此次聚会。

 

在这次聚会上，我们邀请了八位成功的北大校友来分享他（她）们的在人生和事业上的经历（其中七位为生物系毕业生）。这八位校友毕业时间跨越了近20年（78级至97级），现在他们在不同的行业工作，或从事生物医学科研，或就任于美国国家机构部门，或在与生物有关的公司的高层工作，或在美国知名银行领导阶层任职。我们请来这些在年龄和从事行业跨度都很大的校友，希望他们的个人经历能够给我们其他不同年龄，在事业不同阶段的校友以指导，激励，及借鉴。

 

我们这次有幸得到了北大生命科学学院和Genewiz公司的赞助以及约翰霍普金斯医学院华人学生学者联谊会的支持。前者很大程度上减轻了我们筹备这次聚会的经济负担，后者允许我们用约翰霍普金斯医学院华人学生学者联谊会的名义租借场地，解决了我们对场地的担忧，也替我们省下了租借场地的费用。此外，北大生命科学学院还给我们提供了来自饶毅院长的贺词和介绍生命科学学院现况的资料，让在场的每位校友重温了对母校的回忆，倍感亲切。

 

下面我们将详尽的列述这次聚会的筹备材料和与会者的相关信息。因为我们运用的许多网站不支持中文，我们许多材料是用英文写的。另外，聚会的照片放在两个网站：

Dr. Wang received his Bachelor degree in Biology from Peking University in 1984. After one year training at Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry, he received CUSBEA Fellowship and went on his PhD training at UCLA, working with Dr. Jay Gralla on transcriptional machinery. In 1992, he joined Dr. Gerald Crabtree’s lab at Stanford University, and started his research on chromatin remodeling complexes. He became an Investigator and Head of Transcription Remodeling & Regulation Unit at NIA in 1997, and has led a very productive research program since then. Besides his long-term interest in chromatin remodeling complexes, Dr. Wang’s lab has also made significant contributions to the biochemical mechanisms of genome instability and DNA damage repair, and genetic basis of related diseases. He has won many awards including the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, Fanconi Anemia Research Foundation Award, and NIH Merit Award. 

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine 

 

Dr.  Pan obtained B.S. in Biochemistry from Peking University (1988). Benefiting from the CUSBEA program, he furthered his study in US and got Ph.D. in Biological Chemistry from UCLA (1993), and a postdoctoral fellowship with Gerald Rubin at UC Berkeley (1993-1998). Prior to his current position, Dr. Pan was an Associate Professor at UT Southwestern (1998-2004).  Dr. Pan’s work focuses on a long-standing puzzle in developmental biology, namely how organ size is determined during development, a question that also helps to elucidate mechanisms of tumorigenesis. Dr. Pan has taken a multifaceted approach combining Drosophila and mouse genetics, biochemistry and cell biology. Through these concerted efforts, Dr. Pan has discovered an entirely new signal transduction pathway which controls organ size in organisms spanning Drosophila to mammals. His lab continues to define and characterize the roles of additional components of the signaling network. Because of his fundamental discoveries that have significantly advanced our understanding of size-control mechanisms in metazoans, Dr. Pan was selected as an HHMI investigator in 2008. Other awards and recognition include Endowed Scholars in Medical Science at UT Southwestern, ‘Faculty of 1000’ Member, etc. 

 

 

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine 

 

Dr. Chen graduated from Peking University in 1990, majoring in biology. She came to US for a master degree in UCLA, and later, moved on to Stanford to get her Ph.D. As her doctoral research, Dr. Chen studied the development of the genital imaginal disc in flies, under the guidance of Dr. Bruce Baker. In 1998, she started her postdoctoral project with Dr Eric Olson in UT Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW), working on the molecular mechanisms of myoblast fusion in flies. Dr. Chen identified multiple important factors that control or modulate cell-cell fusion, the result of which was published in high-impact journals. In 2004, she joined the MBG department in Hopkins and continued the quest to reveal the elements of the molecular circuit controlling myoblast fusion. Dr. Chen has given lectures in and been the director for several of MBG courses, including one that tutors students in scientific writing and communication. She has won many academic awards including Helen Hay Whitney Fellowship, Nominata Award from UTSW, and Basil O’Connor Starter Scholar Research Award.  

 

 

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine 

 

Dr. Song graduated from Peking University with his Bachelor degree in Biology in 1992. After that he obtained his MA, MPhil degree at Columbia University, and PhD degree at University of California in San Diego, working with Dr. Moo-ming Poo on signal transduction mechanisms in neuronal axon guidance. He joined Dr. Fred Gage’s lab at Salk Institute in 1998. There he started his research in adult neural stem cell development and regulation. In 2002, Dr. Song started his own lab at Hopkins, and has continued his research in neurogenesis in the adult brain. Not only has he made important discoveries in regulatory mechanisms in adult neurogenesis, but also he has expanded his interest on multiple areas, including establishing induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based human disease models, and epigenetic regulations in the nervous system. Dr. Song has won many scientific awards, including McKnight Scholar Award, and Society for Neuroscience Young Investigator Award. 
 
 

 
Dr. Yuan Liu received her bachelors and masters degrees from Peking University, and her Ph.D. from University Basel in Switzerland.  Dr. Liu’s major research interests focuse on presynaptic channels, postsynaptic receptors, mechanisms of synaptic transmission, plasticity, and synaptogenesis.  She published many scientific research papers in peer-reviewed journals and gave more than 20 invited scientific seminars in the U.S., Europe and China. Between 1995-1999, Dr. Liu served as the Program Director for Basic Neuroscience Research at National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). In 1999, she moved to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and served as the Program Director for Channels, Synapses, and Circuits and as the Program Director for Computational Neuroscience and Neuroinformatics. In 2004, Dr. Liu has been appointed as the Chief of the Office of International Activities at the NINDS, while continuing in her role in the area of computational biology and bioinformatics. Dr. Liu has served as the NINDS representative on two international, four inter-agency and ten trans-NIH committees and working groups including the NIH Roadmap and Neuroscience Blueprint. Dr. Liu has received two NIH Director’s Award and four NIH Neuroscience Blueprint Directors Awards for her leadership and significant contributions to these initiatives and programs. 

 

 

Senior Director in Statistics, MedImmune 

 

Hefei (Harry) Yang, Ph.D. is a senior director in Statistics with MedImmune, LLC, a biotechnology company headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland, where he functions as the head of Non-clinical Biostatistics Group to provide statistical support to various non-clinical areas including research, development, operation, manufacturing and regulatory affairs.
