Yesterday's big tech story (beyond Apple's iOS7 release) was actually a biotech story, but only because Google (GOOG) was involved. The search giant announced that it has launched Calico, a "new company that will focus on health and well-being, in particular the challenge of aging and associated diseases."
昨天的重磅科技资讯【甚至超过了苹果(Apple)发布iOS7系统】实际上是一则生物技术资讯,只不过因为它牵涉到了谷歌(Google)。这则消息是,谷歌这家搜索巨头宣布成立Calico,一家“关注健康和幸福,尤其向人类衰老和疾病有关的研发领域提出挑战的全新公司”。
Or, as Time magazine put it: Google vs. Death.
或者,就如《时代》(Time )周刊所言:谷歌对抗死亡。
Calico's CEO is ex-Genentech CEO Art Levinson, who will remain chairman of Genentech (plus a director of parent company Hoffmann-La Roche) and chairman of Apple (AAPL) . You may recall that Levinson also used to be on the Google board, before being leaving due to perceived conflicts of interest with his Apple role.
Calico首席执行官阿特•莱文森曾担任Genentech的首席执行官,他也将留下继续担任Genentech和苹果两家公司的主席(和Genentech母公司Hoffmann-La Roche的主管)。大家也许还能想起,莱文森之前曾是谷歌董事会的成员,之后意识到这与他在苹果所扮演的角色发生了利益冲突,于是辞职。
