Professor Yigong Shi is President of Westlake University, an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a Foreign Associate of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. Professor Shi is a structural biologist whose research has provided mechanistic insights into programmed cell death, regulated intramembrane proteolysis, and RNA splicing. He determined the first atomic structure of an intact spliceosome in 2015, the first atomic structure of the human spliceosome in 2017, and the first structure of a minor spliceosome in 2020. His research has strongly influenced the development of biopharmaceuticals. Professor Shi joined Princeton University as an Assistant Professor in 1998 and was promoted to Full Professor in 2003. In 2007, he was named the Warner-Lambert/Parke-Davis Professor of Molecular Biology. He returned to Tsinghua University in 2008, where he led reforms that transformed the university’s life sciences community. He served as Dean of Life Sciences and Vice President of Tsinghua University. In April 2018, he became the Founding President of Westlake University, China’s first new-type research university. Professor Shi received his bachelor’s degree from Tsinghua University in 1989 and his Ph.D. in Biophysics from Johns Hopkins University in 1995. He completed his postdoctoral training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. 施一公，1985年保送進入清華大學生物科學與技術系，1995年獲美國約翰霍普金斯大學分子 生物物理博士學位，隨後在美國紀念斯隆-凱特琳癌症中心進行博士後研究；1998至2008年歷 任美國普林斯頓大學分子生物學系助理教授、副教授、教授、Warner-Lambert/Parke-Davis 講席教授。2008年全職回到清華大學工作，曾任清華大學副校長。2018年至今，擔任西湖大學 校長、講席教授。 SHI Yigong 施一公 President Westlake University 西湖大學校長 58
