Professor Leland Hartwell was laureated with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2001. His work in the field of genetics has proved essential in understanding the promotion and regulation of the cell cycle. As cell division is the basis of life, the discovery of these genes is one of the greatest contributions to science, enabling the study of this biological process on which the life and reproduction of living beings depends.

Joan Steitz, PhD
Professor Joan Steitz is a pioneer in RNA research, who contributed to the discovery of the splicing process, essential for protein formation and other biological activities. These studies raise significant clinical potential, particularly in the diagnosis and treatment of immune diseases. Her outstanding work earned her the Lasker Prize in 2018.
Rohin Francis, MD
