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 ÅŒmura
Satoshi ÅŒmura of Kitasato University was one of three winners of the Nobel prize for physiology or medicine for their work on therapies for parasitic infections. ÅŒmura 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 Südhof
James Rothman of Yale University, Randy Schekman at the University of California, Berkeley, and Thomas Südhof at Stanford University, shared the Nobel for physiology or medicine for their discoveries of machinery regulating vesicle traffic, a major transport system in our cells.
2012
- Brian K. Kobilka and Robert J. Lefkowitz
Brian K. Kobilka of the Stanford University School of Medicine and Robert J. Lefkowitz of Duke University Medical Center won the Nobel for chemistry for studies of G-protein-coupled receptors. Together, they helped explain how cells sense and react to chemical messages.
