拉斯克基础医学奖成果性质变迁探析

Analysis on Changes of Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research Achievements

以2016年拉斯克奖的"颠倒"现象作为研究缘起,梳理70年来拉斯克基础医学奖得主的专利数据,基于统计结果进行解读,探索拉斯克基础医学奖成果性质的变迁轨迹。研究发现拉斯克基础医学奖得主中专利持有者的比例越来越大,这意味着他们所开展的科学研究已不再是纯基础研究,是居于基础向应用端转化中间阶段的成果形式。这一变迁与转化医学的发展轨迹有着一致性,是技术科学中介与桥梁作用的体现。基于此,我国应尽快在科研经费投入和人才培养、学科建设等方面做出调整。

Taking the ＂upside down＂ of 2016 Lasker Award as an example, the paper analyzes the patent data of winners of Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research Achievements, in order to explore the changes. The study found that the patent holders among basic Lasker Award winners are in an increasing proportion, which means that such kind of research is transforming to intermediate achievement between pure basic research and the application side. The change is consistent with the development path of translational medicine, which reflects the mediating role of technological science. Thus research funding , personnel training and discipline construction in our country should be improved as soon.
