Några reflektioner kring ett nytt paradigm för medicinsk och bioteknisk forskning • Avståndet mellan laboratoriebänken och patientens säng har minskat betydligt och minskar allt snabbare i takt med den nya molekylärbiologiska forskningens landvinningar • Enda sättet att föra över forskningsresultat från lab.bänken till patienten går via patentering och kommersialisering • Den nutida laboratorieforskaren har ett etiskt imperativ att börja arbeta i denna riktning (modern tillämpning av den Hippokratiska eden!)
Några reflektioner…… (forts.) • Det nya paradigmet för medicinsk/naturvetenskaplig forskning består i en trestegsraket, akademi, SMEs samt stora företag, där de två första stegen bör samlokaliseras under ett tak • I detta cluster kommer nya forskningsstrategier och forskningstekniker att växa fram samtidigt som nya utbildningslinjer med kombinationer av bioteknik, medicin, ekonomi, juridik, etik mm kommer att utvecklas • Allt detta betyder effektivare forskning, större konkurrenskraft i ett internationellt perspektiv samt bättre ekonomi för Sverige
