Prix Breakthrough 2025 : lauréats

Destinataires

1. Physique fondamentale

   ATLAS collaboration, CMS collaboration, ALICE collaboration, LHCb collaboration

   Physique

   For detailed measurements of Higgs boson properties confirming the symmetry-breaking mechanism of mass generation, the discovery of new strongly interacting particles, the study of rare processes and matter-antimatter asymmetry, and the exploration of nature at the shortest distances and most extreme conditions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.

2. Sciences de la vie

   Daniel J. Drucker

   Biologie

   For the discovery and characterization of GLP-1 and revealing its physiology and potential in treating diabetes and obesity.

3. Sciences de la vie

   David R. Liu

   Biologie

   For developing base editing and prime editing, technologies that edit the DNA of living systems without cutting the DNA double helix, and rewrite segments of genes at their native locations, enabling the correction or replacement of virtually any mutation.

4. Sciences de la vie

   Stephen L. Hauser

   Biologie

   For establishing the role of B cells in multiple sclerosis and developing B-cell based treatments, and for revealing that Epstein-Barr virus infection is the leading risk for multiple sclerosis.

5. Mathématiques
