Nobel Prize
MARIO CAPECCHI, PHD, 2007 NOBEL PRIZE WINNER IN GENETICS PHYSIOLOGY OR MEDICINE
Mario R. Capecchi, a distinguished professor of human genetics and biology at the University of Utah’s Eccles Institute of Human Genetics, was awarded the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. The prize recognizes Capecchi’s pioneering development of “knockout mice” technology, a gene-targeting technique that has revolutionized the study of mammalian biology and allowed the creation of animal models for hundreds of human diseases, including the modeling of cancers in the mouse.
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), also known as the National Academies, collectively represent the scientific national academy of the United States. Their mission is to provide unbiased and expert guidance that informs policy decisions, drives innovation, and addresses complex societal challenges for the greater good. Their extensive work spans diverse fields, including science, engineering, and health.
Within this framework, the academies recognize exceptional individual achievements through a variety of prestigious awards. These accolades celebrate outstanding contributions in areas such as science, medicine, and engineering. By offering impartial and factual recommendations, the National Academies contribute to evidence-based policies, ignite creativity, and foster the betterment of society.
