The prizes come from the considerable backing of the prize’s founders – including the likes of Sergey Brin (Google), Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Yuri and Julia Milner, and Anne Wojcicki (23andMe).
There were five winners in the Life Science category, with each winner picking up a check for $3 million.
Don Cleveland, University of California San Diego.
For elucidating the molecular pathogenesis of a type of inherited ALS, including the role of glia in neurodegeneration, and for establishing antisense oligonucleotide therapy in animal models of ALS and Huntington disease.
Joanne Chory, Salk Institute for Biological Studies & Howard Hughes Medical Institute
For discovering the molecular mechanisms by which plants extract information from light and shade to modify their programs of shoot and leaf growth in the photosynthetic harvest of light.
Kim Nasmyth, University of Oxford
For elucidating the sophisticated mechanism that mediates the perilous separation of duplicated chromosomes during cell division and thereby prevents genetic diseases such as cancer.
Peter Walter, UC San Francisco
For elucidating the unfolded protein response, a cellular quality-control system that detects disease-causing unfolded proteins and directs cells to take corrective measures.
Kazutoshi Mori, Kyoto University
Also, for elucidating the unfolded protein response, a cellular quality-control system that detects disease-causing unfolded proteins and directs cells to take corrective measures.
