“revealing a new principle for subcellular compartmentalization based on formation of phase-separated biomolecular condensates, a process implicated in both physiological and pathological events“
Since 2002 the prize has recognized “breakthrough research in pure and applied life sciences research”. Past prize winners “have been chosen because of their breakthrough research in areas as diverse as genetics, cell motility, folded proteins and siRNA.
