Presidential Science Envoy Ahmed Zewail Visits NAMRU-3

On 9 February, U.S. NAMRU-3 hosted Nobel Laureate Ahmed Zewail, who was in Cairo to promote partnerships in science and technology. Dr. Zewail is the Linus Pauling Professor of Chemistry at CALTECH, recently appointed to President Obama`s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and named United States Science Envoy to ten countries in the Middle East. A renowned Egyptian-American scientist, he received the nobel prize in chemistry in 1999 for his groundbreaking work in femtochemistry.



Captain Kenneth Earhart, Commanding Officer, and Dr. Moustafa Mansour, Science Director, briefed Dr. Zewail on the navy lab in Cairo, explaining how NAMRU-3 partners with Egypt and other host nations in the region to carry out scientific research and public health capacity building. The scope of NAMRU-3 has expanded in recent years to encompass significant medical diplomacy and public health capacity building roles.



Dr. Zewail noted that the U.S. Navy and Nobel Laureates have a special relationship. A large number of nobel laureates (including Dr. Zewail) have been funded by the Office of Naval Research, which has a long history of funding innovative scientists. The ONR website lists 57 nobel laureates with history of ONR funding. In January 2010, ONR-Global co-sponsored a workshop with NAMRU-3 in Cairo to discuss renewing efforts to fund research in the Middle East and Africa.



Following a brief tour, Dr. Zewail participated in a roundtable discussion with Egyptian and American scientists. NAMRU-3 scientists outlined their background and current activities; Dr. Zewail shared his vision of novel approaches to studying pathogenesis through 4 dimensional electron microscopy.



Dr. Zewail is an advocate of science diplomacy, as borne out in the last two sentences in the epilogue of his autobiography: “Although I am concerned about injustice in the world today, I am an optimist. I believe that with the power of knowledge and rational thinking, we can--and should--build bridges between humans, between cultures, and between nations.”



NAMRU-3 is proud of the bridges it is building though engagement with scientists in the region and looks forward to supporting Dr. Zewail in his efforts to further promote new science and technology partnerships between East and West.
