西奈山医疗系统

西奈山医疗系统理事会执行副主席、医学博士 Kenneth L. Davis 是一位公认的富有远见 卓识的领导者，他带领机构走上了飞速发展的道路。从 2003 年到 2023 年，Davis 博士一 直担任西奈山医疗系统及其前身的首席执行官。他于 2003 年被任命为西奈山医院院长 兼首席执行官，当时他和时任理事会主席的 Peter W. May 发起了学术医学界最大的财务 扭转行动之一，将该机构的规模和雄心壮志推向了在合作研究、教育和临床护理领域追 求创新的新时代。

2013 年，西奈山医疗中心和 Continuum Health Partners 合并成立了西奈山健康系统，成为 美国最大的非营利系统之一，目前实现了 110 亿美元的收入，并且拥有 45,000 名员工、8 家医院、西奈山伊坎医学院、西奈山菲利普斯护理学院，以及遍布纽约市五个区、韦斯特 切斯特、长岛和佛罗里达州的 410 多家门诊部。Davis 博士领导的慈善活动实现了募捐 16 亿美元的目标，其中西奈山医学院的长期支持者兼理事 Carl C. Icahn 捐赠了近 2 亿美元， 西奈山医学院因此在 2012 年更名为伊坎医学院；Hess 家族捐赠了超过 2.5 亿美元。

政府官员、思想领袖、电视和报刊记者经常向 Davis 博士咨询科学、医学和医疗保健方 面的问题。他曾与美国卫生与公众服务部的高级官员合作，帮助制定联邦支付政策，并 在国家和地方出版物上发表自己的思想领袖专栏文章。他还鼓励自己的领导团队在各自 的专业领域畅所欲言。他经常在 Aspen Ideas Festival（阿斯彭创意节）上发表演讲，并自 2014 年以来一直担任 Aspen Institute（阿斯彭研究所）的理事。

Davis 博士曾就读于西奈山医学院，并在该校的第二届毕业班获得最高学术成就 Harold Elster 纪念奖。在斯坦福大学医学中心完成精神病学住院医师培训和药理学专科医师培 训后，Davis 博士获得了退伍军人管理局颁发的职业发展奖，从事神经精神疾病中胆碱能 机制的研究。加入西奈山后，他成为布朗克斯退伍军人管理局 (VA) 医疗中心的精神病学 主任。他发起了西奈山的精神分裂症和阿尔茨海默症治疗生物学研究项目。

Davis 博士担任西奈山精神病学系主任长达 15 年。他是该机构许多研究实体的首任主 任，包括西奈山由美国国家卫生研究院 (NIH) 资助的阿尔茨海默症研究中心、布朗克斯退 伍军人事务医疗中心的精神分裂症生物学研究中心、研究精神分裂症的 Silvio Conte 神 经科学中心以及 Seaver 自闭症研究和治疗中心。此外，他还是 NIH 首批且数额最大的阿 尔茨海默症研究计划项目拨款的获得者之一。

Davis 博士在阿尔茨海默症研究方面的开创性工作为缓解相关症状开辟了新途径，促使第 一代治疗阿尔茨海默症的药物获得批准，并且通过开发阿尔茨海默症评估量表（一种非常 流行的测量方法，用于描述阿尔茨海默症患者表现出的非认知和认知行为功能障碍），彻 底改变了阿尔茨海默症临床试验设计。Davis 博士的研究成果（包括在同行评审期刊上发 表的 500 多篇论文）促使美国食品和药物管理局 (FDA) 批准了首批四种用于治疗阿尔茨 海默症的药物中的三种。他在精神分裂症方面的研究使得人们对髓鞘化、白质病变和少突 胶质细胞在精神分裂症病理生理学中的作用有了新的认识，开辟了审视和研究这种疾病 的全新方法。这项工作在几年前还被视为革命性的成果，如今已得到广泛复制。

除了担任首席执行官外，Davis 博士还在 2003 年至 2007 年间担任过西奈山医学院院 长。他曾于 2006 年担任美国神经精神药理学学院的院长，并获得该学院的 Joel Elkes 研 究奖、Daniel H. Efron 研究奖和 Paul Hoch 杰出服务奖等荣誉。美国精神病学协会表彰了 Davis 博士的工作，2002 年，他当选为美国国家科学院医学研究所的成员。在他获得的 众多奖项中，包括耶鲁大学 2009 年颁发的 George H. W. Bush '48 终身领导奖（该奖项专 门授予在专业领域取得重大突破的耶鲁精英校友）、VA 颁发的职业发展奖，以及生物精 神病学学会颁发的 A. E. Bennett 奖。

理学博士

Charles M. Rice，哲学博士 教授兼主任

病毒学和传染病实验室主任 洛克菲勒大学

表彰致辞

Ana Fernandez-Sesma，哲学博士 微生物学系教授兼讲席教授 西奈山伊坎医学院

Charles M. Rice 哲学博士是洛克菲勒大学 Maurice R. 和 Corinne P. Greenberg 病毒学讲 席教授，同时也是病毒学和传染病实验室主任。他是世界上最有成就的病毒学家之一，也 是研究包括丙型肝炎病毒 (HCV) 在内的黄病毒科病毒的杰出人物。他是 2020 年诺贝尔 生理学或医学奖得主。

全世界有数百万人感染了丙型肝炎或乙型肝炎病毒，这些病毒会导致肝癌和肝功能衰 竭。与此同时，其他 RNA 病毒，如寨卡、黄热病、登革热、基孔肯雅热和 SARS-CoV-2 冠 状病毒，也会导致严重的发病率和死亡率。Rice 博士和他的实验室团队正致力于改变这 种状况。

Rice 博士及其团队致力于了解病毒复制和限制感染的先天性免疫反应，而且还在开发新 的体外培养和动物模型（包括 HCV 病毒的首次传染性分子克隆，这是未来研究的重要 工具）以更好地了解 HCV 复制和评估抗病毒疗效，从而促进对这一重要人类病原体的研 究。这项工作和其他相关工作对于目前已被广泛用于治疗 HCV 的抗病毒药物的开发，起 到了核心作用。由于仍然亟需疫苗，Rice 博士的团队建立了肝炎病毒感染的首个免疫活 性小鼠模型，为肝炎病毒相关肝癌的疫苗开发和研究铺平了道路。

Rice 博士的团队还利用其开发的人类肝脏小鼠模型和新的体外培养方法来研究乙型肝 炎病毒 (HBV)，这种病毒会导致肝硬化和肝癌，而且通常对治愈性治疗具有抗药性。Rice 博士的工作揭示了针对病毒弱点的新策略，并继续开发新技术，如 3D 和诱导多能性干细 胞衍生培养，以研究 HBV、HCV 和其他病毒。他们还利用人类肝脏小鼠模型，研究饮食 和人类遗传学在肝脏疾病非感染性病因发展中的作用。他们还利用人类肝脏小鼠模型， 研究饮食和人类遗传学在肝脏疾病非感染性病因发展中的作用。

Rice 实验室的其他工作重点关注导致全球健康问题的病毒，如登革热、黄热病、寨卡病 毒、基孔肯雅热和冠状病毒。该实验室还研究黄热病疫苗的衰减机制，以及接种疫苗后 可能发生的罕见但严重疾病的人类遗传学原因。

Rice 博士于 1974 年获得加州大学戴维斯分校学士学位，1981 年获得加州理工学院哲学 博士学位。从 1986 年至 2000 年，Rice 博士在圣路易斯华盛顿大学任教。

Rice 博士在病毒学领域与人合著了 500 多篇文章，担任许多期刊的审稿人，曾任美 国病毒学会主席、美国科学促进协会研究员，以及美国国家科学院和美国国家医学 院院士。除了诺贝尔奖之外，他还获得了许多其他奖项和荣誉，包括 M.W.Beijernick 奖、Dautrebande 奖、Robert Koch 奖、InBev-Baillet Latour 奖以及 Lasker-DeBakey 临 床医学研究奖。

丁燕萍 (Alice Y. Ting) 哲学博士是出生于中国台湾的美国化学家，在斯坦福大学担任遗传 学、生物学教授和化学系荣誉教授。丁博士的研究工作探究并阐释了分子和细胞网络，拓 宽了我们对线粒体和哺乳动物大脑信号传导的认识，促成了救命药物的开发，并为人类 健康领域数百项重要的开创性研究奠定了基础。她是 Chan Zuckerberg 生物中心研究员 兼美国国家科学院院士。

丁博士设在斯坦福大学的实验室开发分子技术，以改善对活细胞和神经元中生化反应的 研究。她率先将“ 临近标记 ”(proximity labeling) 技术用于在活细胞和动物体内以纳米级 精度绘制蛋白质组、转录物组和相互作用图谱

这让科学家们首次得以了解蛋白质和

RNA 如何在空间和时间上组织起来，从而产生执行复杂生物过程的细胞器功能和分子机 器。她设计了 APEX 和 TurboID 等酶，使得科学家能够以纳米级精度绘制空间蛋白质组、 转录物组和相互作用图谱。他们已经成功地将这种方法应用于绘制无膜细胞器的蛋白质 组、剖析瞬态蛋白质复合物以及绘制人类转录组的空间图谱。

此外，丁博士和她的团队还开发了可扩展的单细胞分子记录技术，包括钙离子集成器和 蛋白质 - 蛋白质相互作用转录记录器，帮助取得了多项发现（如参与回避行为的新纹状体 细胞类型）。丁博士的贡献还包括荧光团连接酶、单价链霉亲和素、小单价量子点和用于 电子显微镜的基因编码蛋白质标签。他们开发了细胞蛋白质荧光标记、细胞蛋白质组和 转录组的空间图谱绘制以及活细胞 RNA 中钙尖峰分子记录的方法。

丁博士及其团队开发的技术利用了蛋白质工程、定向进化、化学合成、蛋白质组学和计算 蛋白质设计方面的能力。丁博士和她的实验室长期关注神经科学和线粒体，致力于运用 其基于化学的技术来可视化、研究和操作对线粒体和大脑功能运作至关重要的分子、通 路和回路。

丁博士是一位敬业的教师和导师，曾与数十名前哲学博士生和博士后研究员共事，其中 许多人如今已成为生物技术和制药领域的佼佼者。她在麻省理工学院多元化委员会任职 超过八年，致力于消除教师招聘中的无意识偏见，并面向教职人员、博士后和学子们推出 灵活的托儿支持。她为其跨学科团队中来自不同背景的学员营造安全、相互支持、包容、 无偏见的严格培训环境，并因此而闻名。

丁博士出生于中国台湾，三岁时移民美国，在得克萨斯州长大，曾就读于得克萨斯州数学 与科学学院 (TAMS) 。1996 年，她从哈佛大学取得化学学士学位，期间师从诺贝尔奖获得 者 E.J. Corey，并于 2000 年从加利福尼亚州大学伯克利分校获得哲学博士学位，期间师 从 Peter G. Schultz 。丁博士在加利福尼亚州大学圣地亚哥分校完成博士后研究，期间师 从 2008 年诺贝尔奖获得者钱永健 (Roger Y. Tsien) 。

丁博士获得了众多奖项和荣誉，包括 NIH 主任先锋奖、ACS Arthur Cope 学者 奖、McKnight 神经科学技术创新奖、礼来 (Eli Lilly) 生物化学奖、TR35 奖以及 Camille Dreyfus 教师学者奖。

张锋哲学博士是一位分子生物学家，致力于开发和应用新型分子技术来研究和改善人类 健康。张博士被认为是世界上最具创造力的生命科学家之一，他的研究以探索生物多样 性为目标，旨在了解自然，发现自然界中可通过生物工程加以利用的系统和过程。

张博士在两项革命性分子技术的开发中发挥了不可或缺的作用：光遗传学和基于 CRISPR-Cas9 的基因编辑；前者可以让研究人员用光控制神经元，从而进一步了解大脑 如何工作，后者可以让研究人员对活细胞中的 DNA 进行精确修改。他和他的团队还改造 了多个其他 CRISPR 系统，将其用作基因组和转录组工程工具，并且开发了 CRISPR 系统 的多种应用，包括高通量基因组筛选、基因插入和核酸检测。

2023 年，首个基于 CRISPR 的疗法 Casgevy 获准用于治疗镰状细胞病，目前正在进行多 项临床试验，以测试其他基于 CRISPR 的疗法。张博士因大范围提供其实验室工具而闻 名，这些工具除了治疗用途之外，还被广泛用于加速基础研究，以及部署在其他生物技术 应用中。张博士的长期目标是为没有单一潜在基因变化的复杂疾病开发新型治疗策略。

尤其是在大学时期目睹朋友遭受严重精神疾病的折磨后，攻克脑部疾病就成为了他的目 标。

张博士出生于中国，1993 年 11 岁时移民美国。他获得哈佛大学化学和物理学学士学位， 并获得斯坦福大学化学哲学博士学位。

张博士是布罗德研究所的核心成员、麻省理工学院麦戈文脑研究所研究员、麻省理工学 院 James 和 Patricia Poitras 神经科学教授兼霍华德 休斯医学研究所的研究员。他还是 美国国家科学院院士、美国国家医学院院士、美国艺术与科学院院士以及美国国家发明 家学会研究员。

他屡获殊荣，包括加拿大盖尔德纳国际奖、唐奖、布拉瓦尼克国家青年科学家奖、阿尔 伯尼医学中心医学和生物医学研究奖、麻省理工学院勒梅尔森奖、庆应医学奖和劳恩斯 伯里奖。他还获得了 Paul G. Allen 家族基金会、McKnight 基金会、纽约干细胞基金会和 Damon Runyon 基金会颁发的技术创新奖。

ACADEMIC REGALIA

The caps and gowns worn by the participants in today’s Commencement exercises are patterned after the attire of scholars in the Middle Ages, when a warm gown and hood were needed for study in unheated buildings. While European institutions continue to show great diversity in their academic costume, an Intercollegiate Commission met in 1895 to standardize the style and color for robes and hoods to be worn at colleges and universities of the United States. Since then the costume code has been revised and clarified several times by the American Council on Education, most recently in 1986. The governing force, however, is tradition tracing back to the academic symbols of the Middle Ages.

Black gowns were originally recommended for all degrees at all institutions, with the style of the gown denoting the degree: pointed sleeves for Bachelor’s, long closed sleeves for Master’s, and full, round sleeves for the Doctor’s degrees. In addition, the Doctor’s gown was to be faced in black velvet down the front and with three bars of the same velvet across the sleeves. Some universities have begun to adopt more colorful robes. The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai robe is blue; other colors currently in use are violet for New York University, slate gray for Columbia, crimson for Harvard, blue for Yale.

Much information is represented by the colors of hoods worn by holders of doctoral and master’s degrees. The colors of the interior lining of the hood are those of the institution from which the degree was earned. The hood is bordered in velvet in a color that signifies the discipline of the degree: In the case of the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree, the dark blue color is used to represent the mastery of the discipline of learning and scholarship in any field and is not intended to solely represent the field of philosophy.

Members of the Board of Trustees at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai wear a specially designed costume.

我将秉持诚实客观的态度开展研究和专业工作。

我将奉行最严格的标准，尊重知识的产生和应用，并充分承认他人的贡献。

我不会让金钱或野心影响我的判断或决定，亦不会对社会或研究对象造成损害。

我将在不抱偏见或排斥心理的情况下，与同事及社区进行相互尊重的互动与协作，以求 增进知识。

我将以身作则，用我的技能激励、指导和支持后辈，向他们灌输道德行为的最高原则。

医学学位候选人宣誓

现代版希波克拉底誓言（修改版）

我誓将尽己所能与识见，恪守此约：

我将尊重先贤医者得来不易的科研成果，也乐于将此等知识传之于后来者。

我将运用所有必要的诊治手段为患者谋福，避免过度治疗和治疗虚无主义。

我将谨记，医学既是科学也是文学，热忱、 同情与理解可能胜于外科医生之手术刀或药 剂师之药物。

我将不耻于坦言 “ 我不知道 ”，如若患者之痊愈需仰赖同业医术，我将不吝于向其求助。

我将尊重患者的隐私，谨记患者之疾厄不应被公诸于众。关乎生死之时，我尤其要谨慎行 事。若能挽救生命，我将心怀感恩。若能挽救生命，我将心怀感恩。然而也可能出现我尽 力施救而回天乏术的情形；面对此等重任，我须心怀谦卑，认清自身力有不逮之处。

我将谨记，我之救治对象并非诊疗结果，也非疾病症状，而是活生生的患者。患者的疾病 可能会影响到其家人以及造成经济负担。我的责任是要考虑到所有这些问题。这样做， 才是真正替患者着想。

我将尽可能地参与预防疾病工作。因为预防永远胜过治疗。

我不会允许因顾虑年龄、疾病或残障、信仰、血统、性别、国籍、政治派别、种族、性取 向、社会地位或任何其他因素，而干涉我的职责和我的患者； 我将谨记，我永为社会一员，我对全体人类同胞怀有特殊义务。

我将投身推动社会变革，勇于对抗不公和不义。我将这种行动视为医生职业不可或缺的 一部分。

我将关护自身与同仁的福祉和个性，因为我认识到这会影响我们为患者提供的医疗服务。

因此，我怀着乐观精神和对人类的热爱，努力实现这些理想，并推动医学领域的发展。
