内容简介：
The advent of science impacts on everyday life; it brings also unprecedented challenges and unfathomable opportunities.  As a student in life sciences, one faces evolving paradigms in theorem forming, in problem solving and in career choice.  Precision tools of high sensitivity have facilitated high throughput screening and testing; sophisticated algorithms have made possible resolution of complex nexuses; many reagents, enzymes, genomic constructs, vectors, antibodies, RNAi , imaging markers, and model animals with specific hereditary background are available commercially for research. More significantly, advanced concepts for non-linear thinking have drastically modified our central dogma and demanded that we reform our understanding of how nature and nurture shape us through genetics and epigenetics.  Many questions yet remain.  Do we know enough of what is encoded in the genomes, in gene circuitry and expression profiles, in the dynamics of proteins, native or modified, their structures, functions, and interactive networks?  Do we know how cells grow, differentiate, convert energy, migrate, fuse, divide and forming tissues, organ or organisms?  How signals are transmitted, as are senses and bioinformation? What about our vital systems, their origins, vulnerability, ability to regenerate and die as programmed?  Why do we, among all living creatures, come into being on this planet and fade away in time and space?  Ultimately, how much information shall we gather as knowledge, and from what knowledge shall we be privileged in reaching the wisdom that defines Life?  Professor PC Huang will address the issues of preparedness and chance, and share his personal views and vast experience in the academics with our graduating class and fellow students.
