比尔盖茨亲自到场，扎克伯格夫妇捐赠30亿美元发布会完整视频 - 扎克伯格 - IT资讯
编者按：北京时间今日凌晨2点，扎克伯格夫妇宣布，Chan Zuckerberg Initiative将在未来10年内投入30亿美元的巨额资金，资助科学家们攻克世界上最主要的疾病。他们期望在下一代人成长的过程中，能够更少受到疾病的影响，从而过上高质量的生活。扎克伯格夫妇计划在旧金山创立一个生物中心，让科学家们能集中推进项目的进行。这个Initiative的科学委员会成员包括NIH负责人Francis Collins博士，前基因泰克CEO Arthur Levinson博士，普林斯顿大学荣誉校长Shirley Tilghman博士以及诺贝尔奖得主Harold Varmus博士。
昨日，Facebook首席执行官马克·扎克伯格与他的夫人普莉希亚·陈在网上预告，将在今天推出一则“大新闻”。所有人都以为马克又要启动什么新的项目，然而在今日站上舞台的，却是普莉希亚。
“自我们的女儿Max诞生之时，我们就启动了Chan Zuckerberg Initiative，”普莉希亚说道：“我们想要让Max这一代人的生活质量得到显著提高。”而实现这一愿景的方法之一，就是在本世纪末，攻克影响人类健康的重大疾病。
▲扎克伯格夫妇决定，让下一代人彻底摆脱重大疾病的影响
普莉希亚谈到了她的亲身经历。作为一名儿科医生，她曾多次给患者的家庭带来令人心碎的消息——“您的孩子患有白血病”，“我们的医生对此无能为力”。这些消息也同样让普莉希亚心碎。仅仅是回忆这些场景，就让她在演讲时哽咽数次。
而也正是这些让她心碎的瞬间，让她了解到我们对人体与疾病的认识还极为不足，我们还无法彻底缓解疾病带来的痛苦。“我们希望能在这些领域取得突破”，普莉希亚说。
▲演讲中，普莉希亚曾数度流泪
“目前，用于治疗患者的花费，是用于预防疾病的花费的50倍，而这一切需要得到改变”，马克说。
在普莉希亚与她的丈夫的推动下，Chan Zuckerberg Initiative宣布将在今后的10年内投入30亿美元资助科研，以期在本世纪末能对世界上所有的重大疾病进行预防、管理和治愈。
这对夫妇的投资将被用来链接科学家与工程师，开发能推进研究的技术与工具，并资助全世界更多的科学家。
依照计划，扎克伯格夫妇将斥资6亿美元，在旧金山创立一个生物中心，让来自斯坦福大学，加州大学伯克利分校以及加州大学旧金山分校的科学家能通力合作，攻克一个个科研难题。目前，两个项目的具体内容已得到公开，第一个项目将绘出人体的“细胞图谱”，标明人体所有细胞类型的特性，以及它们之间将如何互相起作用；第二个项目则将针对HIV，埃博拉与寨卡等诸多传染性疾病，研发新的疫苗、诊断方法以及治疗新药。
▲比尔·盖茨也亲自到场，为扎克伯格夫妇送上支持
“这些计划勇敢而充满雄心，”比尔·盖茨说道：“我们非常荣幸能亲历现场，见证马克与普莉希亚的启航。”
Facebook曾深刻改变了人与人的互联方式，我们期待这个项目也会在未来深刻改变人类对自身以及疾病的认识。正如今日铺天盖地的网络报道所言，这是一个功在当代，利在千秋的项目。
这两位30出头的年轻人，让我们对健康和未来充满了期待！
