活动简介 | Event Brief

6月13日，“2018哥大中国之夏”将邀请有“世界上最知名的病毒猎手”之称的维尔特·伊恩·利普金（Walter Ian Lipkin）教授做客哥大全球中心 | 北京，与大家分享他争分夺秒，与病毒赛跑的故事。

在2015年度中国国家科学技术奖励大会上，哥伦比亚大学感染与免疫中心（Center for Infection and Immunity）主任维尔特·伊恩·利普金教授获得由中国国家主席习近平主持颁发的外籍科学家的最高荣誉奖项：中华人民共和国国际科学技术合作奖，表彰利普金教授杰出的科技贡献以及他为中国科技事业做出的卓越贡献。

2003年SARS流行高峰期，利普金教授是协助中国抗击SARS的首批国际专家。当爆发得以控制，利普金教授又帮助建设了中国国家疾病控制中心、上海巴斯德研究所、广州生物医药研究所，以确保中国拥有检测和迅速应对新出现的传染性威胁所需的资源。

2013年5月9日利普金教授再次赴京，与中国疾控中心病毒病预防控制所签约组建了病原发现联合实验室，实验室中方主任为董小平研究员，实验室执行主任为段招军研究员。该联合实验室旨在推动和提升中国新发和突发传染病的应对能力，在病毒发现、疾病诊断及疫苗研制等领域展开多方面的合作。他至今仍与科技部、中国科学院和卫生部密切合作，帮助中国更好地应对传染性疾病。

On June 13, Columbia Summer in China will invites Professor Walter Ian Lipkin to share his virus hunting story at Columbia Global Centers | Beijing.

At the 2015 National Science and Technology Awards Conference in Beijing, Professor Ian Lipkin, director of the Mailman School’s Center for Infection and Immunity, received China’s top science honor for foreign scientists, the International Science and Technology Cooperation Award, at a ceremony in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, presided by President Xi Jinping. The award recognizes Professor Lipkin's outstanding scientific and technological contributions and promotion of scientific advancement in the country.

At the height of the SARS outbreak in 2003, Professor Lipkin was invited to assess the state of the epidemic, identify gaps in science, and develop a strategy for containing the virus and reducing morbidity and mortality. Once the outbreak was contained, Professor Lipkin helped develop the institutional infrastructure needed to ensure that China would have the resources required to detect and more rapidly respond to emerging infectious threats, in part through building the Institut Pasteur in Shanghai, new national Centers for Disease Control in Beijing, and the Guangzhou Institute of Biomedicine and Health. 

On May 9, 2013, Professor Lipkin went to Beijing to sign a Joint Laboratory for Pathogeny Discovery with the National Institute for Viral Disease Control and Prevention (NIVDC) within the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Xiaoping Dong serves as the Chinese director of the laboratory, and Zhaojun Duan serves as the executive director. The Joint Laboratory aims to promote and enhance the ability to respond to new and outbreaking infectious diseases in China, and to expand the multi-faceted cooperation in the fields of virus discovery, disease diagnosis and vaccine development. Today, Professor Lipkin continues to consult with the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Chinese Academy of Science, and the Ministry of Health to better respond to infectious diseases.

演讲嘉宾 | Speaker

维尔特·伊恩·利普金

医学博士，是国际公认的利用分子方法进行病原体发现的权威专家。利普金博士有着超过30年的诊断、微生物发现和疫情应对的经验，他已经指导、培训了超过30名学生和博士后研究员，并在纽约和其他150个地区领导65人以上的调查人员、博士后和研究人员。在20世纪80年代，利普金博士发现了与艾滋病相关的免疫异常和炎症性神经病，并证实其可以通过血浆置换进行治疗。同时他还证明了早期接触病毒感染会影响神经递质功能。他是使用纯分子方法鉴定感染因子的第一人，他研发了MassTag PCR和GreeneChip技术，并率先在病原体鉴别中使用高通量测序。他和他的团队在1999年发现西尼罗河病毒是纽约流行性乙型脑炎的致病原因，并发现和研究了超过500种感染因子的表征，包括博尔纳病毒、西尼罗河病毒病毒、LuJo病毒和人丙型鼻病毒。利普金博士在2003年爆发SARS期间曾协助过世卫组织与中国，目前他正在为沙特阿拉伯王国应对MERS挑战提供建议。他还关注自闭症和慢性疲劳综合症等项目，指导如由于感染或中毒等的基因-环境相互作用所导致的疾病研究。

W. Ian Lipkin, MD, is internationally recognized as an authority on the use of molecular methods for pathogen discovery. Dr. Lipkin has over 30 years of experience in diagnostics, microbial discovery and outbreak response, has mentored and trained more than 30 students and post-doctoral fellows and leads a team of over 65 investigators, post-doctoral fellows and research and support staff in New York City and another 150 across the world. In the 1980s, Dr. Lipkin identified AIDS-associated immunological abnormalities and inflammatory neuropathy, which he showed could be treated with plasmapheresis, and demonstrated that early life exposure to viral infections affects neurotransmitter function. He was the first to use purely molecular methods to identify an infectious agent, developed MassTag PCR and GreeneChip technology and pioneered the use of high throughput sequencing in pathogen discovery. He and his team implicated West Nile virus as the cause of the encephalitis epidemic in New York in 1999 and have discovered or characterized more than 500 infectious agents including Borna disease virus, West Nile virus, LuJo virus and human rhinovirus C. Dr. Lipkin assisted the WHO and the Peoples Republic of China during the 2003 SARS outbreak and currently advises the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in addressing the challenge of MERS. He also directs large programs focused on autism and chronic fatigue syndrome wherein gene-environment interactions such as infection and intoxication are postulated to cause disease.
