Premio Breakthrough 2013: Ganadores

Destinatarios

1. Física Fundamental

   Alexander Polyakov

   Física

   For his many discoveries in field theory and string theory including the conformal bootstrap, magnetic monopoles, instantons, confinement/de-confinement, the quantization of strings in non-critical dimensions, gauge/string duality and many others. His ideas have dominated the scene in these fields during the past decades.

   Biología

   for cancer genomics and tumor suppressor genes.

3. Ciencias de la vida

   Charles Sawyers

   Biología

   for cancer genes and targeted therapy.

4. Ciencias de la vida

   Cornelia Bargmann

   Biología

   for the genetics of neural circuits and behavior, and synaptic guidepost molecules.

5. Ciencias de la vida

   David Botstein

   Biología

   for linkage mapping of Mendelian disease in humans using DNA polymorphisms.

6. Ciencias de la vida

   Eric S. Lander

   Biología

   for the discovery of general principles for identifying human disease genes, and enabling their application to medicine through the creation and analysis of genetic, physical and sequence maps of the human genome.

7. Ciencias de la vida

   Hans Clevers

   Biología

   for describing the role of Wnt signaling in tissue stem cells and cancer.

8. Ciencias de la vida

   Lewis C. Cantley

   Biología

   for the discovery of PI 3-Kinase and its role in cancer metabolism.

9. Ciencias de la vida

    Biología

    for induced pluripotent stem cells.

12. Ciencias de la vida

    Titia de Lange

    Biología

    for research on telomeres, illuminating how they protect chromosome ends and their role in genome instability in cancer.
