在本系列课程中,圣母院大学提出了“你会为什么而奋斗”这一话题,主要围绕学生们和教职人员的研究、学术成就和社会行动力展开。本片采取纪录片形式,采访了很多不同的人。
学院介绍:
圣母大学(University of Notre Dame)创建于1842年,位于美国印第安那州的南湾市,是一所文理兼顾的著名私立大学。大学校风严谨、纯正,学生非常热衷于各项志愿的社会工作,也有大量学生加入社会事务中心,帮助照顾老人及伤残人员。

My grandfather loves to fish.There's nothing he enjoys more than being out on the water.He always tells me how the big one's still out there.But now he's losing the ability to do what he loves.My grandfather is going blind.
The goal of our research is to be able to restore sight to those individuals who have lost their vision.
Notre Dame professor Davide Hyde conducts ground-breaking research using adult stem cells from zebra fish.His work,in collaboration with other Notre Dame scientists working with adult stem cells aims to discover therapies and cures for diseases and conditions such as Alzheimer's,Pakinson's and blindness.
We focus our work on Zebra fish because these
stem cells which reside throughout the zebra fish have the natural capacity to regenerate specific tissues and organs unlike humans and other mammals.
我爷爷喜欢钓鱼。他最爱这种在水上的活动。他总说有大鱼要上钩了。但现在他逐渐丧失了这种能力。他失明了。
这项科研的目的是帮助失明的人恢复视力。
诺特丹大学教授大卫用斑马鱼的成熟细胞做了开拓性试验。它与其他诺特丹大学研究员希望能发现治疗老年痴呆、帕金森和失明的方法。
我们把重点放在斑马鱼因为斑马鱼体内的细胞有再生特定组织的天然能力以及人类和其他哺乳动物所没有的器官。
