查尔斯·狄更斯在《双城记》中如是说,这是最好的时代,也是最坏的时代。这句名言用到今天的生命科学中显得最为合适不过。

不同于过去几十年,生物医药产业如今收到了来自各方面的关注和金融投资者前所未有的重视。许多生物学家不必再像以前那样为了自己的研究穷尽一生,却最终都未能看到他们的成果转化为实际产品,为世人造福。如今,当许多科学家的成果尚停留在实验室阶段时,就已经引起了生物医药产业巨头的关注,并为后续的进一步开发做好准备。

然而,成果转化的加速并不光是科学家名利双收,还为这些科学工作者带来不小的烦恼。

由MIT几位教授成立的生物医药公司Editas Medicine最近就遇到了类似的烦恼。公司几位科学家此前开发出一种CRISPR-Cas9的疗法,这种方法能够通过DNA剪切技术治疗多种疾病。这一成果理所当然的受到了众多投资公司和生物医药巨头的关注。公司成立伊始,就获得了包括Polaris, Third Rock等风投公司的投资。这距离研究人员在该领域取得突破过去了仅仅不到两年的时间。

然而,最近媒体透露公司的三位创始人出现严重分歧,为这一研究是否能够顺利开发蒙上了一层阴影。置身这一漩涡的是MIT的科学家Feng Zhang,他于今年四月份获得了一个关于CRISPR的专利,并据此和另外两位科学家Jennifer Doudna、Emmanuelle Charpentier共同筹备成立了Editas Medicine。最近媒体透露Jennifer Doudna和Emmanuelle Charpentier均已携带自己的专利离开了Editas Medicine,其中Doudna更是授权一家瑞士生物医药公司开发CRISPR疗法。成为了Editas Medicine的竞争对手。双方甚至已经大有采用法律武器解决争端的趋势。尽管这一专利争夺可能尚属个例,但是科学家从学术界进入商界,或许真的要适应一下身份的转换。
