亲爱的朋友们，

我们很荣幸的邀请您参加第五届北京大学生命科学学院校友会年会。本次年会将于2013年7月20日于圣地亚哥举行。

北大生命科学院校友会创始于2009年，讨论主题涵盖科研创新，科教政策，职业规划等方面。历届年会均邀请领域内专家学者畅谈科研与职业规划，与会人员收获颇丰。会议参与者主体为北大生科院以及北大医学部毕业生，我们也热忱邀请对北大其他院系毕业生参加到这次活动中来。

99级生命科学学院的毕业生见证了生命科学领域的诸多挑战。各种流行病和慢性病（例如非典，猪流感和癌症）正在蚕食经济发展所带来的红利，甚至危害生命安全。快速的经济发展以及老龄化社会的到来迫切要求公平有效的医疗改革。我们认为基础研究，药物研发，知识产权，法律法规，医疗政策，药学经济等生命科学各领域的人才将是解决这些世界性问题的关键因素。

圣地亚哥正是这样一个人才的聚宝盆。众多领先的研究机构，制药公司，生物技术公司立足于此并繁荣成长。我们期待今夏与您在美丽的南加州相聚！

如果您的同事或朋友可能有兴趣参与会议，敬请转发！

会议地点：Auditorium of the Health Sciences Educational Center (HSEC), Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA, 92093

时间: 2013年7月20日

主办：99级生命科学学院毕业生

Dear colleagues,

It’s our great honor to invite you to attend the 5^th Annual Peking University School of Life Science Symposium (PKU Bio Net Symposium) at San Diego on the 20^th of July, 2013.

PKU Bio Net Symposium is a major platform to discuss research and innovation, science and education policy, and career path perspectives in life science-related field. Since 2009, about 200 attendees benefit from guest speakers who are the experts in their respective academic or industry fields.

The hosting 99 class graduates have witnessed multiple challenges in life science over the past decade. Pandemics such as SARS and H1N1 flu have threatened human lives across the world.  Incidence of chronic disease such as cancer has been on a steady rise in China and other developing nations.  In the mean time, rapid social-economic development and an aging population require efficient, yet delicate, reform of health care systems to benefit more people.  We organizers believe these global challenges will require enormous talent in life sciences such as research, drug development, regulatory affairs, intellectual property laws, pharmacoeconomics, health care policy, and so on.

San Diego is a hot bed of the above-mentioned sectors in life science. Many top-notch universities, research centers, pharmaceutical and biotech companies are thriving in this beautiful Southern California coast city. We hope this meeting will stimulate fruitful discussions about research and career in life science related sector, and extend your friendship with fellow alumni. We look forward to meeting you here this July!

Please feel free to forward this email to who might be interested.

Location: Auditorium of the Health Sciences Educational Center (HSEC), Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA, 92093

Date: July 20^th 2013
