Wolf Prize
Wolf Prize 2022: Winners
Recipients
-
Agriculture
Pamela C. Ronald
for pioneering work on disease resistance and environmental stress tolerance in rice.
-
Chemistry
Benjamin F. Cravatt
for developing activity-based protein profiling, a chemical proteomic strategy, to characterize enzyme function in native biological systems, and describe numerous enzymes which play critical roles in human biology and disease, including the endocannabinoid hydrolases whose lipid products regulate communication between cells.
-
Chemistry
Bonnie L. Bassler
for her work elucidating the role of chemical communication between bacteria. She has made important discoveries revealing how quorum sensing is used by bacteria both for virulence and for communicating across species.
-
Chemistry
Carolyn R. Bertozzi
Carolyn Bertozzi is awarded the Wolf Prize for pioneering biorthogonal chemistry and understanding glycocalyx, and its roles in both health and disease, thus allowing for bioimaging, chemoproteomics, and in-vivo drug delivery.
-
Mathematics
George Lusztig
for Groundbreaking contributions to representation theory and related areas.
-
Physics
Anne L’Huillier
for pioneering contributions to ultrafast laser science and attosecond physics.
-
Physics
Ferenc Krausz, Paul Corkum
for pioneering contributions to ultrafast laser science and attosecond physics
