Aziz Sancar of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, with Tomas Lindahl at the Francis Crick Institute in London and Paul Modrich at Duke University School of Medicine, won the Nobel in chemistry for having mapped, at a molecular level, how cells repair damaged DNA and safeguard the genetic information.
2015
- Satoshi 艑mura
Satoshi 艑mura of Kitasato University was one of three winners of the Nobel prize for physiology or medicine for their work on therapies for parasitic infections. 艑mura won half of the prize with William Campbell of Drew University for the discovery of avermectins, which have radically lowered the incidence of river blindness and lymphatic filariasis.
2013
- Michael Levitt
Michael Levitt of the Stanford University School of Medicine shared the Nobel prize for chemistry with Martin Karplus and Arieh Warshel for the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems.
2013
- James Rothman, Randy Schekman and Thomas S眉dhof
