受賞者

1. 農業

   Fuller W. Bazer, R. Michael Roberts

   生物学

   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. 数学

   John Tate

   数学

   for his creation of fundamental concepts in algebraic number theory.

3. 数学

   Mikio Sato

   数学

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

4. 医学

   Mario R. Capecchi

   生物学

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

5. 医学

   Oliver Smithies, Ralph L. Brinster

   生物学

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

6. 物理学

   Anthony J. Leggett, Bertrand Halperin

   物理学

   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.
