Prix Breakthrough 2013 : lauréats

Destinataires

1. Physique fondamentale

   Alexander Polyakov

   Physique

   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.

   for cancer genomics and tumor suppressor genes.

3. Sciences de la vie

   Charles Sawyers

   Biologie

   for cancer genes and targeted therapy.

4. Sciences de la vie

   Cornelia Bargmann

   Biologie

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

5. Sciences de la vie

   David Botstein

   Biologie

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

6. Sciences de la vie

   Eric S. Lander

   Biologie

   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. Sciences de la vie
