ABSTRACT

Driven by high technologies such as big data, a revolution has taken place in the field of life sciences and a paradigm shift. The paradigm of science determines the organizational model of science. In the past, most of the studies on the organization model of science took physics as the research object, and there were few studies on the organization model of life science. In order to explore the changes in the organizational structure of life sciences, this paper sorts out the revolutionary changes of life sciences with the participation of data methods, and tries to summarize the new characteristics of the organizational structure of life sciences from the aspects of organizational personnel, organizational information, organizational technology, organizational structure, organizational culture, etc. The results show that the organizational structure of life sciences shows three characteristics: platform, ecological and sharing. First of all, based on the development of the Internet, from the construction of national databases, various biobanks, and sequencing platforms, to the development of biomedical programs and software on mobile phones, life sciences have begun to develop towards platform-based science. Second, the platformization and popularization of scientific research have expanded the participation of scientific research from scientists to industry, citizens, community organizations, etc. The diversity of scientific research participants and the convergence of exchanges between them make life science organizations appear as ecological systems that flow within the system and have an impact on the whole. Thirdly, the basic tone of open sharing of biological data information after the genome revolution is based on the platform-based, ecological, and open and inclusive scientific organization and cultural atmosphere, and the life sciences are developing towards shared science.
