Abstract
The 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, about $936,000 this year, recognizes Yoshinori Ohsumi of Japan for his efforts to understand autophagy, a fundamental process for degrading and recycling cellular components, research that he began by studying yeast. Separately, among the 2016 MacArthur Foundation Fellows, who receive $625,000 “genius awards,” are microbiologist Dianne Newman, who studies bacteria that played roles in shaping the Earth as well as in modern biomedical contexts; geobiologist Victoria Orphan, whose focus is on microbial communities in extreme environments; and physical biologist Manu Prakash, who invented several devices that can be used for diagnostic work in microbiology. Also noteworthy, the 2016 LaskerDeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award is shared by three scientists whose research on hepatitis C virus (HCV) led to development of drugs for treating HCV infections.
2016年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖(Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine)今年将获得约93.6万美元的奖金,表彰日本的大sumi吉典(Yoshinori Ohsumi)在理解自噬方面所做的努力。自噬是降解和回收细胞成分的一个基本过程,他从研究酵母开始了这项研究。另外,获得62.5万美元“天才奖”的2016年麦克阿瑟基金会(MacArthur Foundation)研究员包括微生物学家黛安·纽曼(Dianne Newman),她研究的是在塑造地球和现代生物医学背景中发挥作用的细菌;地球生物学家维多利亚·奥芬,她的研究重点是极端环境下的微生物群落;物理生物学家马努·普拉卡什(Manu Prakash),他发明了几种可用于微生物学诊断工作的设备。同样值得注意的是,2016年LaskerDeBakey临床医学研究奖由三位科学家分享,他们对丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)的研究导致了治疗HCV感染的药物的开发。
