Destinatarios

1. Agricultura

   Fuller W. Bazer, R. Michael Roberts

   Biología

   for discoveries of Interferon-t and other pregnancy-associated proteins, which clarified the biological mystery of signaling between embryo and mother to maintain pregnancy, with profound effects on the efficiency of animal production systems, as well as human health and well-being.

2. Matemáticas

   John Tate

   Matemáticas

   for his creation of fundamental concepts in algebraic number theory.

3. Matemáticas

   Mikio Sato

   Matemáticas

   for his creation of 'algebraic analysis', including hyperfunction and microfunction theory,holonomic quantum field theory, and a unified theory of soliton equations.

4. Medicina

   Mario R. Capecchi

   Biología

   for their contribution to the development of gene-targeting, enabling elucidation of gene function in mice.

5. Medicina

   Oliver Smithies, Ralph L. Brinster

   Biología

   for the development of procedures to manipulate mouse ova and embryos, which has enabled transgenesis and its applications in mice.

6. Física

   Anthony J. Leggett, Bertrand Halperin

   Física

   for key insights into the broad range of condensed matter physics: Leggett on superfluidity of the light helium isotope and macroscopic quantum phenomena; and Halperin on two- dimensional melting, disordered systems and strongly interacting electrons.
