   for pioneering signal transduction therapy and for developing tyrosine kinase inhibitors as effective agents against cancer and a range of other diseases.

5. Médecine

   Tony Pawson

   Biologie

   for his discovery of protein domains essential for mediating protein-protein interactions in cellular signaling pathways, and the insights this research has provided into cancer.

6. Médecine

   Anthony R. Hunter
