Warren Alpert Foundation Prize Recipients

2015

For their pioneering discoveries in chemistry and parasitology, and personal commitments to translate these into effective chemotherapeutic and vaccine-based approaches to control malaria - their collective work will impact millions of lives globally particularly in the developing countries.

2013

For their seminal contributions to concepts and methods of creating a genetic map in the human, and of positional cloning, leading to the identification of thousands of human disease genes and ushering in the era of human genetics.

2010

For the expansion and differentiation of human keratinocyte stem cells for permanent skin restoration in victims of extensive burns.

2008-2009

For the discovery, characterization and implementation of laser panretinal photo-coagulation, which is used to treat proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

2005

For discovering angiogenesis and its relationship to disease, and for championing the concept of anti-angiogenic therapies.

2004

For her seminal contributions to the understanding of how the antitumor agent Taxol kills cancer cells.

2002

For his pioneering work in understanding the role of vitamin A supplementation in preventing blindness and life-threatening infections in children in the developing world.

2001

For their pioneering work in cardiovascular research which has dramatically reduced the mortality rate for heart attacks.

1998

For elucidating the pathway forming the leukotrienes and their role in bronchial asthma.

1996

For their discoveries of molecules that regulate the growth and differentiation of bone marrow cells in health and disease.

1995

For the development of the lung surfactant used for treating pulmonary hyaline membrane disease.

1993
