今日头条:上海交通大学副校长徐学敏教授被瑞典皇家理工学院授予荣誉博士学位

北欧绿色邮报网和北欧中华网联合报道(记者陈雪霏)– 上海交大副校长、生物医学工程教授徐学敏16日在斯德哥尔摩获颁瑞典皇家理工学院颁发的荣誉博士学位。

瑞典皇家理工学院校长西布里特.卡尔松宣布授予徐学敏荣誉博士学位。

徐学敏接受荣誉博士帽,博士手环和博士证书。

一同获得荣誉博士学位的还有来自丹麦、美国和瑞典的四位教授。

中国驻瑞典大使桂从友对徐教授表示祝贺。中国驻瑞典大使馆教育参赞曹叠峰博士(右一),瑞典皇家理工学院教授胡晓明(左一)和瑞典皇家理工学院前副院长Ramon Wyss(右二)参加授予仪式。

徐学敏表示,瑞典皇家理工学院(KTH)是一所历史悠久的世界著名高等学府,创新力非常强,获颁瑞典皇家理工学院荣誉博士学位,她深感荣幸。

徐学敏1991年在美国伊利诺伊大学获博士学位,主要从事热物理在癌症治疗方面的应用。她提到 “我们发展了一种通过热物理刺激原位的癌细胞释放抗原,来激发全身免疫的研究,这与当前流行的癌症肿瘤免疫治疗相吻合。研究目前已进入临床实验阶段。”

在谈到如何坚守科研之路,徐学敏寄语青年人要认准一个方向,坚持到底。在科研中也许为遇到这样或那样的困难,可能有人会因为困难而轻易换方向,但从长远来看,科研路上必须有独特的想法,瞄准目标执着、坚定地走下去,才能够收获成功。要注重吸纳借鉴不同文化的长处,要思维开放,视野开阔,注重多学科交叉,善于发现新的创新突破点。同时,她还鼓励学生们注重培养兴趣爱好和增强体育锻炼,丰富业余生活。

作为上海交大副校长,徐学敏强调交大注重培养学生的全球化视野,充分发掘其创新潜质。自2013年双方签署战略合作备忘录和双硕士学位联合培养备忘录以来,交大与瑞典皇家理工学院在学生交换和学位项目等方面合作活跃;2016年9月两校签署战略合作发展基金协议,通过种子基金项目的实施进一步促进了两校教师的交流与合作。访瑞期间,她与瑞典皇家理工学院深入交流,双方探讨如何在工程教育方面进行创新与合作,并在现有合作的基础上,进一步推动科研和教学的深入对接与合作。

徐学敏在获得美国伊利诺大学(UIUC)热物理博士学位后,先后在美国纽约大学、普渡大学机械工程系及生物医学工程系工作十多年,并获得终生教席。她也是前教育部系统生物医学重点实验室主任,上海交大Med-X研究院院长。主要从事荧光分子影像,热物理在生物医学中的应用以及生命现象中的热物理问题研究。研究方向有肺癌同步辐射早期诊断的研究、微纳米药物热靶向输送研究、肿瘤热物理治疗新方法与微循环损伤机理的研究、热物理与细胞相互作用的系统生物学研究、肿瘤早期诊断生物标志物研究。
