摘要

On September 23,the 2016 Lasker-DeBakey clinical medical research award ceremony was celebrated in New York City.This annual prize has been awarded by the Lasker Foundation for over 71 years,and it is the most prestigious biomedical award in the United States,popularly known as "America's Nobel Prize".Indeed,87 Lasker laureates have received the Nobel Prize,including 41 within the last 30 years (one example is the Chinese pharmaceutical chemist Youyou Tu,who won the 2011 Lasker-DeBakey award and four years later received the Nobel Prize).This year,the honor went to Ralf F.W.Bartenschlager (Heidelberg University,Germany),Charles M.Rice (Rockefeller University,NY,USA),and Michael J.Sofia (Arbutus Biopharma,PA,USA) for the development of cell culture system to study the replication of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and for the use of this system to develop drugs capable of eliminating Hepatitis C.
