Geuna, AldoTitle Science-Technology Linkages in an Emerging Research Platform: The case of Combinatorial Chemistry and Biology Series Title UNU-MERIT Research Memoranda Volume/Issue No. 21 Publication Date 1999 Place of Publication Maastricht Publisher UNU-MERIT Pages 23 Language eng Abstract This article focuses on issues concerning science and technology relationships posed by the emergence of a new drug discovery method, namely, combinatorial chemistry and biology. We assess the scientific content of combinatorial chemistry and biology using citations in patents to scientific journals and compare this research platform with biotechnology. We also identify the institutional affiliation of all the authors of the cited papers, which leads us to an analysis of knowledge spillovers between the main participants in the research network. Finally, we examine the relevance of localisation in the process of knowledge exchange with regard to EU countries and the US. The result of the analysis provide evidence to support the view that the inventive capacity of a country is dependent upon the basic research which is carried out, especially in universities and public research centres located in the inventor's country.
