Chapter 14 Lasker Prize in Medicine

New York City, Manhattan Island, Lafas Hotel (hotel_le_faucigny) Convention Center.

The spotlight shone brightly and the applause was thunderous.

"Thank you! Thank you! ”

"Dear and honorable Chair, President, and Albert and Mary? Member of the jury of the Lasker Foundation. Honorable Nobel Laureates and Lasker Prize Laureates, Honorable Presidents of the National Medical Association, ladies and gentlemen. ”

Li Jie wore a well-tailored suit and stood on the podium in a chic and calm manner. Directly in front of him, the entire conference center was full and packed, it was Albert and Mary? Member of the Lasker Foundation, honorary committee member, and experts in the U.S. medical community.

Beginning in June, the signature "Samson? Bell and Bruce? Many of Li's papers and achievements have been published in authoritative medical journals such as Natural Science, Journal of the American Medical Association, and Journal of Drugs in the American Health System. Immediately afterwards, with the advent of "Weilida", a variety of medical awards with various names have also thrown olive branches to them.

Originally, Li Jie didn't mean to co-sign, but Samson? Bell, a technographer, may always feel that Li Jie is the one who makes a bigger contribution, and insists on co-signing whether he is nominated for various medical awards or published results. Later, Li Jie found that this was a good thing, after all, he could accumulate his prestige in the academic world, so as not to be too thin and criticized.

However, because of the trouble, he asked Samson or the staff to collect most of the awards, and at the same time to avoid anyone using this as an excuse to attack him. But today's award is really a bit influential, and the other party also made it clear that he hopes that Li Jie can attend in person. Deliver an acceptance speech on the spot. It just so happened that the award was presented in New York, and Li Jie participated in it.

Lasker Prize in Medicine (lasker_medical_research_awards), full name Albert? The Lasker Prize is another top award in the field of physiology and medicine, in addition to the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. The award began in 1946 and was given to the New York-based Albert Anderson. Mary? Lasker Foundation. It honors scientists, doctors, and public service personnel who have made outstanding contributions to the medical field. The Lasker Awards were initially divided into basic medicine, clinical medicine, and public service, but later special contribution awards were added - the first two of which were awarded specifically to scientists.

Li Jie and Samson were jointly nominated and received the Clinical Medicine Award.

Generally speaking, the winner of the Lasker Basic Medical Research Award has a more than 50% chance of winning the Nobel Prize in the following years, and the clinical medical research award has a nearly 20% probability, so it is also known as the "Nobel Prize vane" in the medical community.

But Li Jie knew it very well in his heart. His hopes of winning the Nobel Prize are almost nil, and he is a clinical medicine prize in itself. On the one hand, the development of "Virida" is not like the original Fried? Murad pays more attention to the deep mechanism, and it can be said that most of it is based on the empty mansion of demon apothery, and on the other hand, it is naturally because of his special identity and qualifications of Chinese descent. This time the Lasker Prize in Medicine, if not Samson? Bell forcibly tied himself. The people on these juries were probably not so willing to judge him.

In any case, the Nobel Prize itself pays more attention to the verification and practice of research results, and it often takes more years to be nominated, and there is no rush to do so.

"It is a great honor for me to be with my mentor, Samson? Dr. Bell shared the honor with the Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research, one of the most coveted awards in the biomedical discipline. "Li Jie turned his face to Samson, who was standing beside him? Bell, smiling and waving at him.

The latter was clearly very excited. Desperately applauded in response.

"There's a lot that Dr. Bell has said a lot about this study. Therefore, I would like to focus on it. As a latecomer to the medical profession, it means to me to receive such a high honor. Li Jie showed a sincere expression and looked at the trophy in his hand, the gilded statue of the winged victory of Samothrace, a symbol of victory over disease and death, and the bottom of the trophy was engraved with him and Samson? Bell's name, 2016 Lasker Prize in Clinical Medicine.

"Frankly. I don't think I deserve this award. ”

After Li Jie finished saying this, his voice paused. The audience erupted in discussion as he expected. Although the winners usually show a little humility as a sign of respect for the award. But no one has ever said so clearly that they don't deserve an award. Even Samson on the side? Bell was stunned, and then cast a puzzled look.

"Why do you say that? Because I stood on the shoulders of those who came before me, and it was my mentor, Samson, who really turned this result into reality. Dr. Bell. During this period, I did some auxiliary work at best, and most of it was not really pioneering and forward-looking. It was Dr. Bell, my esteemed mentor, who insisted on adding me to the list of awards, and who was a true mentor and friend. ”

Speaking of which, Li Jie turned around and went to Samson? Bell hugged him heavily, again sparkling applause.

"It stands to reason that I should be ashamed to come and accept the award. However, in view of the Foundation's kind invitation, I am still cheeky to appear here. Yes, some people say that if I win, I will be the youngest Lasker Prize winner in medicine - that's what I'm here for. ”

Li Jie, who stood back in front of the podium, made an expression that I was going to play tricks, and shook his head downward, provoking a burst of laughter. With his 20-something age, coupled with his frank words and natural smile, making such an action seems a bit frank, and obviously does not cause too many people to resent it.

"Because!"

"Because I think, those pioneers of biology and medicine, Albert, the philanthropist who founded the Lasker Prize in Medicine? Mr. Albert Lasker and his wife, Mary? Ward? Ms. Mary Woodard Lasker must have the same sincere and optimistic expectations for this award as all of you here and as I am. That is to encourage more people to join the industry, more biological and medical workers, and strive to conquer more diseases that plague mankind and alleviate the pain of more patients. ”

"So! I told myself that this was indeed a great, ambitious, and inspiring award, a goodwill for a young man of different colors, who had crossed the seas to this land, and who had always had a passion for biomedicine. Then, it should be regarded as a little encouragement to this brave young man, and encourage this young man to truly make achievements worthy of this award, worthy of the members of the jury, and worthy of applause for our biomedical career. I believe that time will prove this eventually, thank you! (To be continued)
