ブレークスルー賞 2013: 勝者

受賞者

1. 基礎物理学

   Alexander Polyakov

   物理学

   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.

2. ライフサイエンス

   Bert Vogelstein

   生物学

   for cancer genomics and tumor suppressor genes.

3. ライフサイエンス

   Charles Sawyers

   生物学

   for cancer genes and targeted therapy.

4. ライフサイエンス

   Cornelia Bargmann

   生物学

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

5. ライフサイエンス

   David Botstein

   生物学

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

6. ライフサイエンス

   Eric S. Lander

   生物学

   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. ライフサイエンス

   Hans Clevers

   生物学

   for describing the role of Wnt signaling in tissue stem cells and cancer.

8. ライフサイエンス

   Lewis C. Cantley

   生物学

   for the discovery of PI 3-Kinase and its role in cancer metabolism.

9. ライフサイエンス

   Napoleone Ferrara

   生物学

   for discoveries in the mechanisms of angiogenesis that led to therapies for cancer and eye diseases.

10. ライフサイエンス

    Robert A. Weinberg

    生物学

    for characterization of human cancer genes.

11. ライフサイエンス

    Shinya Yamanaka

    生物学

    for induced pluripotent stem cells.

12. ライフサイエンス

    Titia de Lange

    生物学

    for research on telomeres, illuminating how they protect chromosome ends and their role in genome instability in cancer.
