著名的卡罗林斯卡医学院首位华人教授曹義海说,屠呦呦获得诺贝尔医学奖是实至名归。

“我感觉早就有预感,因为屠呦呦的发现为人类做出的贡献太大了,这不是几个人的事情,整个非洲都用这个药,这贡献太大了。而且我认为这是中国为人类做出的贡献,在西方一切发明都有专利保护,但中国那时候却没有保护知识产权的意识,完全是无偿奉献。”

卡罗林斯卡首位华人女教授潘墙也对屠呦呦获奖感到非常自豪。

“屠呦呦是中国首位获得诺贝尔医学奖的科学家,首位获得自然科学奖项的中国人,而且还是女性。在大陆出生长大的,没有出过国留学。完全是本土的科学家。这一下突破了很多首次。”

中欧文化协会副会长丹妮说,屠呦呦获医学奖的意义太大了,对中医的发展肯定会有促进作用。

屠呦呦的最大贡献就是把青蒿里的化学成份分解出来。一般的中药是要用高温煮出来,但是青蒿是不能用高温的,要直接拧出汁来,效果最好。

据屠呦呦班子里的科学家讲座时提到,在60年代越战的时候,越南领导人胡志明抗击美国侵略的时候发现,他们不怕美国士兵,但是更怕蚊子造成的疟疾。于是向毛主席求救。毛主席下令要研究如何对付疟疾。38岁的屠呦呦作为带头人研究,经过无数次的试验,终于提炼出单一结构的青蒿素。治疗效果非常好。

庆祝会由北欧时报社长何儒召集,瑞典华人总会支持。出席庆祝会的还有人民日报北欧记者站站长刘仲华,卞医生和斯德哥尔摩大学医学学者于是。

中国药学家屠呦呦和美日科学家分享2015诺贝尔医学奖

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)瑞典卡罗林斯卡医学院诺奖大会主席于班. 兰达尔5日11:30在诺贝尔大厅新闻发布会上宣布,今年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖一半发给美国科学家坎贝尔(William. C. Campbell)和日本科学家大村智(Satoshi Ömura), 另一半发给中国的屠呦呦。

DSC_3705坎贝尔和大村智获奖的原因是发明了治疗蛔虫寄生虫感染的疗法,而屠呦呦则是因为发现了治疗疟疾的新颖疗法。

诺贝尔委员会委员安德森解释说,屠呦呦是因为发明了青蒿素,一种中国特有的植物里边的青蒿素,经过加工,分流,去除有害分子提炼出来的青蒿素对治疗疟疾效果非常好。

DSC_3745诺贝尔医学奖委员会主席朱琳. 紫拉斯解释说,诺奖的提名候选人都是提名个人。诺委会获得提名后,进行考察,调查,结果,发现了她。

托马斯.帕特曼,诺奖委员会委员接受记者采访。

DSC_3746安德森说,屠呦呦的发现非常重要,他们也发现她的研究成果是在中医药研究的平台基础上进一步发现了青蒿素的化学成份。这一发现成果经过后来批量生产,避免了数百万人的死亡。尤其是儿童。

世界上有34亿人有患疟疾的危险,每年有45万人因此失去生命。

他们发现屠呦呦从传统中医找到了疟疾疗法。她是第一个发现青蒿素化合物的。被提纯后,制成抗疟疾药物。疗效非常好。

美国科学家坎贝尔出生于爱尔兰,1957年在美国获得博士学位。日本的大村智与坎贝尔一起发现了Avermectin,可以治疗蛔虫寄生虫。

由于三位科学家的发现,从根本上改变了寄生虫病的治疗。这种治疗非常成功,以至于该病几乎要灭绝了。在全球每年有两亿人受感染。青蒿素药物在世界所有有疟疾的地方都用。在非洲,每年有10万人的生命得救。

诺贝尔奖是根据瑞典发明家阿尔佛雷德.诺贝尔的遗嘱设立的。奖励那些为人类做出巨大贡献的人,主要是在生理学或医学,物理,化学,文学和和平方面。

诺贝尔奖从1901年开始颁发,到现在已经有105年的历史了。诺奖得主每年12月10日在诺贝尔去世这一天来斯德哥尔摩音乐厅接受由瑞典国王颁发的获奖证书,奖杯和奖金。

The Tällberg Foundation announces its five 2015 Global Leaders

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

Stockholm, Oct. 5(Greenpost)–The Tällberg Foundation has announced its five 2015 Global Leaders, selected by an international panel from more than 200 nominees and 56 Nations. These women and men – each in a most extraordinary way – demonstrate the kind of leadership required by the challenges of the 21st century. By honoring them, the Foundation seeks to draw attention to their work and to illuminate the skills and traits of leadership that they exemplify.

The five Global Leaders were selected by an international jury from a pool of more than 200 nominations drawn from 56 countries. The nominees were selected from a wide range of fields and roles, including Fortune 100 CEOs, national political leaders, innovative and risk-taking social activists and entrepreneurs, artists, religious figures and many others. They were nominated by leaders from around the world as well as the general public.

The Tällberg Foundation Global Leaders, class of 2015, are:
