本期材料发音模仿地址：http://bulo.hujiang.com/menu/11885/item/735463/http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201302/201302230809397027457.mp3The Maryland teenager requested and received permission to work in a laboratory at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. There he developed a simple paper test, which can identify the protein in a single drop of blood. His test has proven correct 90% of the time. It also is 100 times more sensitive than other tests.
"It costs three cents per test, and then also it takes only five minutes to run."
Jack's success would not have been possible without Anirban Maitra, a professor at Johns Hopkins. He was the only person among the 200 researchers Jack contacted who showed interest in his project.
Jack worked in Professor Maitra's laboratory, completing his project in seven months. The government has given the Maryland teenager patent rights to the pancreatic cancer test. He is now talking with companies about developing the test into a simple over-the-counter product.
Whatever happens, the professor believes Jack Andraka's name is one we will be hearing again over the next ten to 20 years.经过申请，这位马里兰少年获准在巴尔的摩约翰霍普金斯大学的实验室工作。在那里他发明了一种简易试纸，仅凭一滴血就能检测出是否含有间皮素蛋白质。经证实，他的检测方法准确率高达90%，并且比其他检测方法的灵敏度高100倍。
“单次检测仅需5分钟，且成本不过3分钱。”
杰克的成功与约翰霍普金斯大学的教授安勒班·梅特拉教授是分不开的。他是杰克联系的200位研究人员里，唯一一个对他的研究项目表示有兴趣的人。
正是在梅特拉教授的实验室里，杰克7个月内完成了研究。政府已为这位马里兰少年的胰腺癌测试技术颁发了专利。目前有几家公司正与杰克接洽，希望能将此检测方法开发为简单的非处方药品。
无论如何，梅特拉教授相信，今后的十到二十年内人们还将再度听见杰克·安德拉卡的名字。
