Premios

1. 2009

   Premio Internacional Canadá Gairdner

   Biología

   For the dissection and elucidation of a key pathway in the unfolded protein response which regulates protein folding in the cell.

2. 2014

   Premio Lasker — Premio Albert Lasker de Investigación Médica Básica

   Biología

   For discoveries concerning the unfolded protein response — an intracellular quality-control system that detects harmful misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum and signals the nucleus to carry out corrective measures.

3. 2014

   Premio Shaw — Ciencias de la vida y medicina

   Biología

   For their discovery of the Unfolded Protein Response of the endoplasmic reticulum, a cell signalling pathway that controls organelle homeostasis and quality of protein export in eukaryotic cells.

4. 2018

   Premio Breakthrough — Ciencias de la vida

   Biología

   for elucidating the unfolded protein response, a cellular quality-control system that detects disease-causing unfolded proteins and directs cells to take corrective measures.
