M. Stephen Scherer, chercheur principal et directeur du Centre for Applied Genomics \u00e0 l\u2019H\u00f4pital pour enfants malades (SickKids), a \u00e9t\u00e9 choisi comme laur\u00e9at selon les citations 2014 susceptible d\u2019\u00eatre en lice pour un prix Nobel dans la cat\u00e9gorie de la physiologie ou de la m\u00e9decine, selon une annonce de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Intellectual Property & Science de Thomson Reuters (Thomson Reuters IP & Science) le 25 septembre.<\/p>\n
M. Scherer, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de Charles Lee, professeur et directeur scientifique du Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine \u00e0 Farmington, au Connecticut, et de Michael H. Wigler, professeur et chef de la Mammalian Cell Genetics Section du Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, \u00e0 New York, est reconnu en raison de la d\u00e9couverte de la variation \u00e0 grande \u00e9chelle du nombre de copies et de son association avec des maladies pr\u00e9cises.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Ce titre de laur\u00e9at selon les citations tr\u00e8s important est pour moi un grand honneur, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 M. Scherer, qui est \u00e9galement directeur du McLaughlin Centre de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Toronto. Il repr\u00e9sente une validation v\u00e9ritablement ind\u00e9pendante de l\u2019importance de nos recherches en m\u00e9decine partout dans le monde. Qu\u2019il y ait ou non des r\u00e9compenses \u00e0 la clef, il est tr\u00e8s touchant de faire partie d\u2019une liste aussi \u00e9minente de scientifiques. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Thomson Reuters a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00e9tudier les laur\u00e9ats selon les citations en 2002 et pr\u00e9dit sans se tromper 35 laur\u00e9ats de prix Nobel. Cette \u00e9tude, qui consiste \u00e0 colliger et \u00e0 analyser les citations des travaux de recherche, d\u00e9termine quels sont les chercheurs influents dans les domaines de la chimie, de la physique, de la physiologie ou de la m\u00e9decine, et l\u2019\u00e9conomie. Le titre reconna\u00eet l\u2019influence des travaux d\u2019un chercheur dans la communaut\u00e9 scientifique d\u2019apr\u00e8s les citations dans les publications des coll\u00e8gues chercheurs.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Tout comme l\u2019imitation est l\u2019une des formes les plus sinc\u00e8res de flatterie, les citations dans la litt\u00e9rature scientifique font partie des plus grands dividendes de l\u2019investissement intellectuel d\u2019un chercheur, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Basil Moftah, pr\u00e9sident de Thomson Reuters IP & Science. La totalisation de ces citations fait ressortir ceux et celles qui ont r\u00e9alis\u00e9 les travaux les plus influents et nous permet de d\u00e9terminer les candidats les plus susceptibles de recevoir un prix Nobel. \u00bb<\/p>\n
La liste des pr\u00e9dictions de prix Nobel de cette ann\u00e9e comprend 27 chercheurs de 27 institutions universitaires et organismes de recherche. L\u2019annonce du prix Nobel 2014 en physiologie ou m\u00e9decine aura lieu le 6 octobre prochain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
