Judah Folkman and the War on Cancer
Abstract
Judah Folkman, professor in the Division of Vascular Biology at Children's Hospital in Boston, is considering how best to advance the research in his lab in an era where biomedical research has gotten more interdisciplinary and collaborative. Specifically, Folkman has to consider how to foster collaborations even as lab members have to contend with various incentives that propel them toward demonstrating independence for their career advancement and, hence, sometimes resisting collaboration. Also highlights trends in the academic job market as well as in funding in the biomedical research field.
