自北京时间3日起，2016年诺贝尔奖“开奖周”正式拉开帷幕。在接下来的一周内，物理学奖、文学奖等六大奖项获奖人选将逐渐揭晓。今年的诺贝尔奖各奖项将于何时公布获奖结果？又有谁会获得这一至高无上的荣誉呢？
诺贝尔奖是根据瑞典化学家阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔的遗嘱，于1901年开始颁发的奖项，涵盖诺贝尔在遗嘱中设立的生理学或医学奖、物理学奖、化学奖、文学奖以及和平奖5类奖项。1968年，瑞典中央银行决定提供资金，增设诺贝尔经济学奖，并从1969年开始颁发。
根据诺贝尔奖官网的最新信息，2016年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖揭晓时间最早为北京时间3日17时30分；物理学奖揭晓时间最早为北京时间4日17时45分；化学奖揭晓时间最早为北京时间5日17时45分；和平奖揭晓时间最早为北京时间7日17时；经济学奖揭晓时间最早为北京时间10日19时。
2016年诺贝尔文学奖揭晓时间尚未最终确定。按照往年规律，文学奖当会在化学奖公布的次日揭晓。
评选过程全程保密
从1901年到2015年，诺贝尔奖共计颁发573项，共授予了900位获奖者。其中最年轻的获奖者是2014年诺贝尔和平奖得主，时年17岁的马拉拉，而最年长的获奖者是2007年的诺贝尔物理学奖得主，时年 90岁的威廉·劳伦斯·布拉格。
历届诺贝尔奖得主中，已经出现了两位中国籍获奖者的身影。2012年，中国作家莫言获得诺贝尔文学奖。2015年，屠呦呦凭借对青蒿素的研究获得当年的诺贝尔生理学与医学奖。
至于今年还会不会有中国人捧得诺贝尔奖或获得提名，在诺贝尔奖揭晓之前暂时还是一个谜。因为，诺贝尔奖评选的全过程保密，除公布最终获奖者的名字外，候选人名单在50年内都不对外公开。即使过了这一时限，也仅供研究诺贝尔奖的专业人员查阅。
在奖金数量方面，由于受到经济危机的影响，从2012年起，诺奖奖金由1000万瑞典克朗缩水至800万瑞典克朗，今年奖金的具体数目尚未公布。
今年谁是大热门？
每年10月开奖之前，各大机构都会发布对当年诺奖热门人选的预测，博彩业也总是不失时机地开出盘口，供普通民众赌上一把。
其中，被誉为“诺奖风向标”的“汤森路透引文桂冠奖”最新公布的名单最为引人关注。该奖项按生理或医学、物理、化学、经济四个领域分类，根据研究人员所发表成果的被引用频次，来分析和预测最有影响力的科学家。自2002年以来，引文桂冠奖已经成功预测了39位诺贝尔奖得主。
今年的获奖名单中，各领域值得关注的科学家有：物理学家 Ronald W.P.Drever、Kip S.Thorne 及 Rainer Weiss，他们设立了激光干涉引力波天文台 (LIGO)，使检测黑洞所产生之引力波成为可能。
生理学或医学领域，James P.Allison、Jeffrey A.Bluestone 及 Craig B.Thompson 解释了 CD28 和 CTLA-4 如何成为 T 细胞活性的调节因子；而 Gordon J.Freeman、Tasuku Honjo 及 Arlene H.Sharpe 阐明了程序性死亡受体-1的功能，这两个科研小组的发现促进了癌症免疫治疗的发展。
在经济学领域，Olivier J.Blanchard 被公认为对宏观经济学作出了极具价值的贡献，其中包括经济波动与雇佣的决定因素。
继2014年和2015年之后，今年的引文桂冠奖中也连续第三年出现华人科学家——麻省理工学院华裔科学家张锋教授、香港中文大学教授卢煜明均入选预测名单。
和平奖方面，此前有媒体报道，今年的诺贝尔和平奖已经有228名个人和148个组织获得提名。2016美国共和党总统竞选人特朗普、德国总理默克尔等都位列其中。“日本和平宪法第九条”今年也再次获得了诺贝尔和平奖提名。这是继2014年和2015年之后、该宪法条款第三次获得诺贝尔和平奖提名。此前均未最终获奖。
在诺贝尔奖的各项大奖中，由于文学奖不像物理、化学那样具有明确评判标准，因此每年都是悬念最大、预测最难的奖项。多年“陪跑”诺贝尔文学奖的日本作家村上春树，今年照例呼声很高。村上春树在facebook分享了预测今年文学奖得主的赔率，并写道，“今年诺贝尔会是村上春树年吗”，似乎真的很想得奖。 | w*********9

Satoshi ōmura - Facts
Photo: A. Mahmoud
Satoshi ōmura
Born: 12 July 1935, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan
Affiliation at the time of the award:Kitasato University, Tokyo, Japan
Prize motivation: "for their discoveries concerning a novel therapy against
infections caused by roundworm parasites"
Prize share: 1/4
Life
Satoshi Omura was born in Nirasaki, Yamanashi, Japan. He studied at the
University of Yamanashi and at the Tokyo University of Science. He holds two
doctorates: one in pharmaceutical science from the University of Tokyo from
1968 and one in chemistry from the Tokyo University of Science from 1970.
He has then primarily worked at the Kitasato University, Minato, Tokyo, but
is also affiliated with Wesleyan University, Middleton, Connecticut, USA.
Work
A number of serious infectious diseases are caused by parasites spread by
insects. River blindness is caused by a tiny worm that can infect the cornea
and cause blindness. Lymphatic filariasis, or elephantiasis, is also caused
by a worm and produces chronic swelling. Satoshi ōmura cultured bacteria,
which produce substances that inhibit the growth of other microorganisms. In
1978 he succeeded in culturing a strain from which William Campbell
purified a substance, avermectin, which in a chemically modified form,
ivermectin, proved effective against river blindness and elephantiasis.

Antiparasitic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antiparasitics are a class of medications which are indicated for the
treatment of parasitic diseases, such as those caused by helminths,[1]
amoeba,[2]ectoparasites, parasitic fungi,[3] and protozoa,[1] among others.
Antiparasitics target the parasitic agents of the infections by destroying
them or inhibiting their growth;[4] they are usually effective against a
limited number of parasites within a particular class. Antiparasitics are
one of the antimicrobial drugs which include antibiotics that target
bacteria, and antifungals that target fungi. They may be administered orally
, intravenously or topically.[4]
Broad-spectrum antiparasitics, analogous to broad-spectrum antibiotics for
bacteria, are antiparasitic drugs with efficacy in treating a wide range of
parasitic infections caused by parasites from different classes.

Medical uses[edit]
Antiparasitics treat parasitic diseases, which impact an estimated 2 billion

Administration[edit]
Antiparastics may be given via a variety of routes depending on the specific
medication, including oral, topical, and intravenous.[4]
Drug development history[edit]
Early antiparasitics were ineffective, frequently toxic to patients, and
difficult to administer due to the difficulty in distinguishing between the
host and the parasite.[4]
Between 1975 and 1999 only 13 of 1,300 new drugs were antiparasitics, which
raised concerns that insufficient incentives existed to drive development of
new treatments for diseases that disproportionately target low-income
countries. This led to new public sector and public-private partnerships (
PPPs), including investment by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Between 2000 and 2005, twenty new antiparasitic agents were developed or in
development. In 2005, a new antimalarial cost approximately $300 million to
develop with a 50% failure rate.[10]

and parasitologist known for his work in discovering a novel therapy against
infections caused by roundworms, for which he was jointly awarded the 2015
Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.[2] He helped to discover a class of
drugs called avermectins, whose derivatives have been shown to have "
extraordinary efficacy" in treating River blindness and Lymphatic filariasis
, among other parasitic diseases affecting animals and humans.[3][3]
Campbell worked at the Merck Institute for Therapeutic Research 1957–1990,
and is currently a research fellow emeritus at Drew University.[4][5]

Life[edit]
Campbell was born in Ramelton, County Donegal, Ireland in 1930 ,[6] the
third son of R. J. Campbell, a farm supplier. He studied at Trinity College,
Dublin with James Desmond Smyth,[7] graduating in 1952 with first class
honours in Zoology. He then attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison on
a Fulbright Scholarship, earning his Ph.D. degree in 1957 for work on the
liver fluke, a parasite affecting sheep.[5]
From 1957 to 1990 Campbell worked at Merck Institute for Therapeutic
Research,[8] and from 1984 to 1990 he was a Senior Scientist and Director
with Assay Research and Development. He became a U.S. citizen in 1962.[1]One
of his discoveries while at Merck was the fungicide thiabendazole, used to
treat potato blight, historically ascourge of Ireland.[5][9] Thiabendazole
is also used to treat trichinosis in humans.[10]
Campbell is best known for his work on parasitic diseases. Japanese
microbiologist Satoshi ōmura isolated and cultured many varieties of
natural soil-based bacteria from the group Streptomyces. Campbell lead a
team at Merck in studying ōmura's cultures and examining their
effectiveness in treating parasites in domestic and farm animals. From the
sample Streptomyces avermitilis, naturally produced in soil, he derived
macrocylclic lactone. After further modification, it was named ivermectin (
generic) or Mectizan.[11]
In 1978, having identified a successful treatment for a type of worms
affecting horses, Campbell realized that similar treatments might be useful
against related types of worms that affect humans. In 1981, Merck carried
out successful Phase 1 treatment trials in Senegal and France on river
blindness.[3][12]Taken orally, the drug paralyzes and sterilizes the
parasitic worm that causes the illness.[13] Merck went on to study the
treatment of elephantiasis. The research of Satoshi ōmura, William Campbell
, and their co-workers created a new class of drugs for the treatment of
parasites.[3][12]
In 1987, Merck decided to donate Mectizan to developing countries.[13]
Campbell was instrumental in that decision.[8][14] With the World Health
Organizationthey created an "unprecedented" drug donation program, with the
intention of wiping out the disease.[13] As of 2001 an estimated 25 million
people were being treated each year, in a total of 33 countries in sub-
Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East.[12][15][16][17] As of
2013, the Carter Centerindependently verified that the disease had been
eradicated in Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico.[18]
“The greatest challenge for science is to think globally, think simply and
act accordingly. It would be disastrous to neglect the diseases of the
developing world. One part of the world affects another part. We have a
moral obligation to look after each other, but we’re also naturally
obligated to look after our own needs. It has to be both."[7]
From 1990 to 2010, when he retired, Campbell was a research fellow at Drew
University in Madison, N.J., where he supervised undergraduate research and
taught courses in parasitology.[12] He has written about the history of
parasitology in Antarctic exploration, including the work of surgeon Edward
L. Atkinsonin Scott's ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition.[8][19]
In 2002, Campbell was elected member of the United States National Academy
of Sciences.[20] In 2015, he and Satoshi ōmura shared half of the 2015
Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their research on therapies
against infections caused by roundworm parasites, using derivatives of
avermectin.[3][21] (The other half went to Tu Youyou for work on malaria
treatments.[3]) Campbell is the second Irish scientist to win a Nobel Prize,
after Ernest Walton won theNobel Prize in Physics in 1951.[7]
Personal life[edit]
William C. Campbell is married to Mary Mastin Campbell.[8] He is a published
poet and painter.[22] His recreational activities include table tennis and
kayaking.[7]
Awards and honors[edit]

$$$$$$$$$$
Yoshinori Ohsumi, a Japanese cell biologist, was awarded the Nobel Prize in
Physiology or Medicine on Monday for his discoveries on how cells recycle
their content, a process known as autophagy, a Greek term for “self-eating.”
It’s a crucial process. During starvation, cells break down proteins and
nonessential components and reuse them for energy. Cells also use autophagy
to destroy invading viruses and bacteria, sending them off for recycling.
And cells use autophagy to get rid of damaged structures. The process is
thought to go awry in cancer, infectious diseases, immunological diseases
and neurodegenerative disorders. Disruptions in autophagy are also thought
to play a role in aging.
But little was known about how autophagy happens, what genes were involved,
or its role in disease and normal development until the early 1990s, when Dr
. Ohsumi began studying the process in baker’s yeast.
Why did he win?
The process he studies is critical for cells to survive and to stay healthy.
The autophagy genes and the metabolic pathways he discovered in yeast are
used by higher organisms, including humans. And mutations in those genes can
cause disease. His work led to a new field and inspired hundreds of
researchers around the world to study the process and opened a new area of
inquiry.
Who is he?
Dr. Ohsumi, who was born in 1945 in Fukuoka, Japan, and received a Ph.D.
from the University of Tokyo in 1974, floundered at first, trying to find
his way. He started out in chemistry but decided it was too established a
field with few opportunities.
Rockefeller University in New York, where he was to study in vitro
fertilization in mice.
“I grew very frustrated,” he told the Journal of Cell Biology in 2012. He
switched to studying the duplication of DNA in yeast. That work led him to a
junior professor position at the University of Tokyo where he picked up a
microscope and started peering at sacks in yeast where cell components are
degraded — work that eventually brought him, at age 43, to the discoveries
that the Nobel Assembly recognized on Monday. Dr. Ohsumi later moved to the
National Institute for Basic Biology, in Okazaki, and since 2009, he has
been a professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology.
“All I can say is, it’s such an honor,” Dr. Ohsumi told reporters at the
Tokyo Institute of Technology after learning he had been awarded the Nobel,
according to the Japanese broadcaster NHK. “I’d like to tell young people
that not all can be successful in science, but it’s important to rise to
the challenge.”
So he switched to molecular biology. But his Ph.D. thesis was unimpressive,
and he could not find a job. His adviser suggested a postdoctoral position
at Rockefeller University in New York, where he was to study in vitro
fertilization in mice.

according to the Japanese broadcaster NHK. “I’d like to tell young people
that not all can be successful in science, but it’s important to rise to
the challenge.”
What’s he like?
“He is a quiet man,” said Dr. Beth Levine, director of autophagy research
at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. But he
also is quietly daring.
“Unfortunately, these days, at least in Japan, young scientists want to get
a stable job, so they are afraid to take risks,” he told the Journal of
Cell Biology. “Most people decide to work on the most popular field because
they think that is the easiest way to get a paper published.”
As for himself, he said: “I am not very competitive, so I always look for a
new subject to study, even if it is not so popular. If you start from some
sort of basic, new observation, you will have plenty to work on.”
Reactions
Dr. Ohsumi’s Nobel Prize “was inevitable,” Dr. Levine said. Dr. Ohsumi,
she said, “is venerated in the autophagy field.”
The Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe, called Dr. Ohsumi to congratulate
him, saying “your research gave light to the people who suffer from serious
diseases.”
Nobel Prize Winning Scientists Reflect on Nearly Sleeping Through the Life-
Changing Call
With announcements of this year’s Nobel Prizes set to kick off on Monday,
here is how eight past winners got the word.
Who was overlooked for the prize this year?
Speculation had it that the Nobel would go to researchers whose work was
instrumental in developing new treatments that unleash the immune system to
attack cancer cells. The list is long. Front-runners had included James P.
Allison at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center; Craig B.
Thompson of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York; Gordon J.
Freeman of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; and Tasuku Honjo of Kyoto
University. Another scientist often mentioned as a Nobel contender is
Jeffrey Bluestone of the University of California, San Francisco, who works
on the immune system in disorders in which it attacks normal cells.
