加拿大两科学家有望问鼎诺贝尔医学奖

本年度诺贝尔医学奖周一将在瑞典颁发,今年出现至少两组热门人选,其中一组为来自加拿大安省癌症研究院的两名科学家。

安省癌症研究院科学家狄尔(James Till)及麦库络(Ernest McCulloch)是世界干细胞研究先驱,1960年首次在老鼠身上试验证实干细胞的存在,为以后医学界的人类骨髓移植奠定了基础。两人多次获得其它医学奖。

78岁的狄尔出生沙斯卡其旺省,在美国耶鲁大学完成生物物理学学业,1957年就职于其时刚刚成立的安河癌症研究院﹔83岁的麦库络毕业于多伦多大学医学系,也是在1957年就职安河癌症研究院。

另一组两位热门人选,是两位来自英国的DNA图谱识别研究先驱、英国莱斯特大学的杰夫里斯(Alec Jeffreys)和牛津大学的萨笙(Edwin Southern)。

诺贝尔医学奖得主可以获得130万美元奖金、获奖证书和金质奖章,在颁奖典礼上能与瑞典国王握手。

高錕是哪里人?哪个国家成就了高錕? 出生和童年在上海,主要教育和发光发热是在英国,国籍是美国,基础教育和对大中华影响时在香港。 对高錕影响最大国家依顺序应该是英国,香港,美国,中国。

Where are my Chinese folks? Professor Charles K. Kao CBE FRS FREng (Traditional Chinese: 高錕; Kao Kuen; born in 4 November 1933) is an engineer and a pioneer in the use of fiber optics in telecommunications. Kao is widely regarded as the "Father of Fiber Optic Communications". He was awarded half of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics for "groundbreaking achievements concerning the transmission of light in fibers for optical communication". Charles K. Kao was born in Shanghai (currently Jinshan District of Shanghai) in 1933. His father was a lawyer. He has a young brother named Kao Woo (高鋙). Kao graduated from St. Joseph's College in Hong Kong. He then graduated in electrical engineering in 1957 from Woolwich Polytechnic (now University of Greenwich) and obtained his PhD degree in electrical engineering in 1965, from Imperial College London (at that time a constituent college of the University of London). While studying for his PhD degree, Kao also worked as an engineer for Standard Telephones and Cables (STC) at their Standard Telecommunications Laboratories research centre in Harlow, England (now Nortel Networks). In 1966, along with George Hockham, Kao did his pioneering work in the realisation of fiber optics as a telecommunications medium, by demonstrating that the high-loss of existing fiber optics arose from impurities in the glass, rather than from an underlying problem with the technology itself. Since leaving STL, he has worked as director of research at ITT Corporation. He joined the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1970, and served as the university's Vice-Chancellor from 1987 to 1996. He then worked as the CEO of Transtech. He is currently Chairman and CEO of ITX Services. Kao was awarded the Nobel Prize of Physics for his contributions to the study of the transmission of light in fibers for optical communication on October 6, 2009 . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_K._Kao
