It is a great night for the 12 researchers who were awarded for their contributions for the discoveries in life sciences and physics. It was a star-studded ceremony in the United States with Breakthrough prizes.
According to Silicon Republic, among these 12 are Sergey Brin, Anne Wojcicki, Yuri Milner, Julia Milner, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan. They are all linked to the technology of Google, Youtube and Facebook. These are examples of their contribution in the Internet world.
However, their wanting for more and additional scientific discoveries is what put them together to have the Breakthrough prize, together with financial incentives to the researchers working to improve the modern science.
More researches in black hole, string theory and DNA modifications, rare diseases and Schrödinger's equation have improved more for the couple of years. Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, stated that there has never been a more important time to support science.
The scientific researches in physics, math and life sciences will make a breakthrough to unlock new possibilities and make the world a better place for everyone, he added.
According to Engadget, appreciations are lauded to Stephen J. Elledge, Harry F. Noller, Roeland Nusse, Yoshinori Ohsumi and Huda Yahya Zoghbi, the other six of the 12 awardees. It was for their researches on protein synthesis in cells, "Wnt" pathways, nutrient generation, spinocerebella ataxia and Rett syndrome.
Prof. Nusse from developmental biology at Stanford University and investigator at Howard Hughes Medical Institute was rewarded for his pioneering research on Wnt pathway. It is one of the crucial intercellular signaling systems in development, cancer and stem cell biology.
Prof. Nusse said that it was a complete surprise and his gratitude goes out to many people, the past and present postdoctoral scholars and graduate students and to his former mentors who all have contributed to the success of his research.
