Ratcliffe from Uni- versity of Oxford and Gregg L. Semenza, from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, for their discovery of the pathway by which cells from human and most animals sense and adapt to changes in oxygen availability, a process essential for survival. The Lasker Award is widely considered as America＇s mosLt prestigious honor in the biomedical field. For 71 years,展开更多

Prof. TU You-you （China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Beijing） transformed an ancient Chinese healing method into the most powerful antimalarial medicine currently available that has saved millions of lives across the globe, especially in the developing world. An artemisinin-based drug combination is now the standard regimen for malaria recommended by the World Health Organization （WHO）.展开更多
