Medicine Award Kicks off Nobel Prize Announcements
Two scientists who have won praise for research into the growth of cancer cells could be candidates for the Nobel Prize in medicine when the 2008 winners are presented on Monday, kicking off six days of Nobel announcements.
Australian-born US citizen Elizabeth Blackburn and American Carol Greider have already won a series of medical honors for their enzyme(酶|)research and experts say they could be among the front-runners for a Nobel.
Among the pair’ s possible rivals are Frenchman Pierre Chambon and Americans Ronald Evans and Elwood Jensen, who opened up the field of studying proteins called nuclear hormone receptors
As usual, the tight-lipped award committee is giving no hints about who is in the running before presenting its decision in a news conference at Stockholm’ s Karolinska Institute.
Alfred Nobel, the Swede who invented dynamite(炸药),established the prizes in his will in the categories of medicine,physics,chemistry,literature and peace. The economics prize is technically not a Nobel but a 1968 creation of Sweden’ s central bank.
Nobel left few instructions on how to select winners,but medicine winners are typically awarded for a specific breakthrough rather than a body of research.
Hans Jornvall, secretary of the medicine prize committee, said the 10 million kronor(瑞典克朗)(US $ 1.3 million)prize encourages groundbreaking research but he did not think winning it was the primary goal for scientists.
" Individual researchers probably don’ t look at themselves as potential Nobel Prize winners when they’ re at work, "Jornvall told The Associated Press. "They get their kicks from their research and their interest in how life functions. "
In 2006, Blackburn, of the University of California, San Francisco, and Greider, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, shared the Lasker prize for basic medical research with Jack Szos-tak of Harvard Medical School. Their work set the stage for research suggesting that cancer cells use telomerase(端粒酶)to sustain(维持)their uncontrolled growth.
Who is most unlikely to win the Nobel Prize in medicine?
选项
A、Elizabeth Blackburn.
B、Carol Greider.
C、Hans Jornvall.
D、Pierre Chambon.
答案
C
解析
根据第二段“Australian-born US citizen Elizabeth Blackburn and American Carol Greider…experts say they could be among the front—runners for a Nobel”可知,伊丽莎白·布莱克本和开罗·格雷德已经因为酶研究赢得了一系列医学方面的荣誉,专家认为他们最有可能获得这次的诺贝尔医学奖。第三段提到她俩的竞争对手有来自法国的皮埃尔.尚本、来自美国的罗纳德·依文斯和艾尔伍德·杰森,所以说他们部有可能获奖,第七段说“Hans Jomvall,secretary of the medicine prize committee”汉斯·乔恩瓦是医学奖委员会秘书,并非提名者,所以不可能获得诺贝尔医学奖,故选C。
