当代科学的迅速发展越来越依赖于不同学科之间的交叉与融合。学科交叉是科学发展的必然趋势,是增强科技创新的重要途径。生命科学-生物医学与其它学科的交叉是国际科学界的一种新的研究模式。一些国际著名的大学,如斯坦福大学、哈佛大学、普林斯顿大学、伯克利加州大学等,近年来都投巨资成立了跨越生物学、物理学、化学等多个学科的交叉科学研究所或研究中心,集中物理学家、化学家和生物学家等不同学科专家的智慧,以促进以生命科学为代表的学科交叉和渗透。在斯坦福大学,由诺贝尔物理奖获得者朱棣文教授倡导确定了“生物学交叉学科研究计划(Bio-X Program)”,并且为此建设了一座专门大楼(The Clark Center)。现将该计划的情况作简要介绍。
The rapid development of contemporary science relies more and more on the intersection and integration between different disciplines. Disciplinary cross-cutting is an inevitable trend of scientific development and an important way to enhance scientific and technological innovation. Life sciences - the intersection of biomedicine and other disciplines is a new mode of research in the international scientific community. Some internationally renowned universities, such as Stanford University, Harvard University, Princeton University and the University of California, Berkeley, have invested heavily in establishing cross-cutting scientific research centers or research centers that span biology, physics and chemistry. Focus on the wisdom of different disciplines such as physicists, chemists and biologists to promote the interdisciplinary and infiltration of disciplines such as life sciences. At Stanford University, Dr. Ng Po Chu, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, has advocated the “Bio-X Program” and built a dedicated building for The Clark Center. The plan is now briefed on the situation.
