中国科学院北京生命科学研究院院长，动物研究所研究员，农业虫害鼠害综合治理研究国家重点实验室主任康乐博士近日被美国著名的内布拉斯加大学（University of Nebraska-MMC）医学中心授予名誉科学博士学位。

 

在5月1日该大学的报道中指出，在过去的4年中，康乐博士在致力于建立中国科学院与内布拉斯加大学医学中心的合作关系方面作出了极大贡献。自2004年以来，两个机构交换学生和学者，并开展合作研究。作为一个科学家，康乐博士取得了卓越成就，是世界公认的著名整合生物学家。他长期致力于研究飞蝗的生理学和行为学，使其成为研究生物生理学，神经生物学，遗传学和行为学的重要模式生物。

在美国，授予名誉博士学位要大学提名，经过学校董事会批准；如果是州立大学，还要经州长批准。名誉博士学位只授予学术、经济、教育、科学、文化和卫生等领域卓越的学者、科学家或著名的政治家、社会活动家，以及在社会发展和人类进步事业中的作出突出贡献的知名人士。被授予名誉科学博士学位，是一个科学家的最高荣誉。

 

Le Kang, Ph.D., will receive an Honorary Doctor of Science degree in recognition of his outstanding contributions to science and his collaboration efforts with UNMC.

Dr. Kang currently is professor and president of the Beijing Life Science Institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the most prestigious research institution in China.

During the past four years, Dr. Kang has been a key player and advocate for close collaborations between the CAS and UNMC. This partnership began in 2004 and has involved student and faculty exchanges, as well as research collaboration.

In September 2007, the two institutions signed an agreement to establish a Joint Research Center between the CAS and UNMC, and in August 2008, the China-U.S. Joint Center for Life Sciences was established, largely due to the collaborative spirit of Dr. Kang.

As a scientist, Dr. Kang has made outstanding achievements and is highly recognized internationally as an expert in integrative biology. His research is dedicated to the physiology and behavior science of locust, which is an important model organism in the study of physiology, neurobiology, genetics and behavior.
