夫妻店生意
徳平厚博士在MD安德森的作用远不止确定哪五种肿瘤。建立肿瘤应用科学研究所(这是新的目标控制机构的名称)的艰苦工作是琳达•秦的责任,她也曾在贝尔佛研究所工作。她还是癌症图谱项目的国际科学指导委员会的成员,并且是徳平厚博士的妻子。55名科学工作者将和徳平厚夫妇一起从贝尔福来到德克萨斯,帮助秦博士工作。这种挖走人家整个团队的做法在投资银行界司空见惯,但是在学术研究界却不多见。徳平厚博士把此事戏称为“细胞转移”,因为他原先创造的研究机构的克隆物将在另一个地方扎下根来。
As to which five cancers to attack, that decision will be made by the middle of 2017. A crucial consideration will be how likely it looks that research into the tumour in question could get rapidly to the "proof of concept" stage—the point at which it could be taken forward by a business that relied on commercial sources of capital, rather than on the sorts of grants that usually propel academic research. At that moment a new firm might be spun out of the institute, or a deal might be done with an established pharmaceutical firm, to try to get a new drug developed.
至于把哪五种癌症作为目标,将在2017年年中决定。一个关键因素是看对目标癌症的研究是否能尽快达到“概念验证”的阶段,到了那个阶段,研究工作就可以在商业资本的支持下作为一个生意来向前推进,而不是仅仅是依靠科研拨款。这样,或者可以在研究所的基础上成立一个新公司,或者可以和既有的制药公司合作,从而研发一种新药。
