分析測試百科網#K)x6V*zW hKE每年The Scientists雜志都要進行學術環境評選,挑選出40個最佳的學術研究院。近期2009年調查評選結果已經公布,今年的關鍵詞是合作,團隊建設和獨特的資助體系。
今年排名前十的分別是:普林斯頓大學(Princeton University),加州大學舊金山分校(University of California, San Francisco),耶什華大學愛因斯坦醫學院(Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University),俄克拉何馬大學健康科學中心(University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center),埃默里大學(Emory University),格萊斯通研究院(J. David Gladstone Institutes),圣猶大兒童研究醫院(St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital),西雅圖系統生物學研究院(Institute for Systems Biology, Seattle),諾貝基金會(The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation),以及Mayo醫學院(Mayo Clinic)。
去年排列第二的普林斯頓大學今年躍居榜首,這所富有的大學強有力的組學金項目是吸引許多學生來此的原因之 一,2009年在金融危機的背景下,普林斯頓大學加大對助學項目的投入,增長率達到13%。當然普林斯頓大學還有其它一些優勢,比如導師的指引等。這所高 校據報道目前有國際學生1350多人,其中中國學生人數為250人左右。
排名第二的是加州大學舊金山分校,上個月,這所高校由于另外一個原因被重點關注著:其分子生物學教授布萊克波恩(Elizabeth H. Blackburn)與其它兩位科學家共同獲得了2009諾貝爾生理/醫學獎。
今年登上探花的是之前榜單中未見提及的愛因斯坦醫學院,這所高校位于紐約市的Bronx區,是耶什華大學這所猶太 大學的研究生學院之一,因為招收非猶太人讀博士和作博士后,因此也聚集了不少國際學生在此進行研究學習。調查顯示愛因斯坦醫學院的優勢包括研究資源和管理 政策等方面。
從全球范圍內看,今年第一名花落馬克斯普朗克協會分子細胞生物學、遺傳學研究所(Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG)),這家研究機構著力于應用分子細胞生物學與發育生物學的最新技術研究“如何從細胞發展形成細胞組織”的問題。MPI-CBG擁有 200多職工,分別來自33個國家,在很短的時間內已經發展成為一所世界領先的功能性微生物基因研究所。
去年榜首的魏茲曼學院(Weizmann Institute of Science)今年位居第二名,這所高校具有自己的獨特性,比如沒有本科生,因此科學家們不用在教學責任上花太多功夫,另外研究院也為科學家們提供了系 統性的研究資源,從生物信息學到蛋白組學,從克隆到3D結構分析。
