Eminent Scholar appointed 12 February 1999 UniNEWS Vol 8 No 3 Nobel Laureate and distinguished physiologist Professor Bert Sakmann has been appointed a visiting Eminent Scholar to the University of Melbourne. Professor Richard Larkins, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, said Professor Sakmann's presence would be a great boost to the University's research. "We are delighted that Professor Sakmann has accepted our invitation and we look forward to having two Nobel Laureates in our Faculty," Professor Larkins said. "We have several research groups whose areas of interest overlap with Professor Sakmann's, and he will also be an inspiration to our young researchers and students." Professor Sakmann has won more than 16 international prizes for medical research, culminating in the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1991. Until recently he was Managing Director of the esteemed Max-Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany. His many significant discoveries have revolutionised our knowledge of the workings of cells, particularly nerve cells. Professor Sakmann's important discovery of the patch-clamp technique for measuring electrical activity and chemical flow across cell membranes resulted in a technique now used in laboratories throughout the world. His subsequent work has led to the development of many important drugs used for diseases of the circulation and nervous system. This research identified very sophisticated channels across the membranes of cells which regulate the flow of sodium, potassium and calcium ions in response to chemical signals acting on the cells, as in nerve stimulation.

Nobel winners welcomed 23 August 1999 UniNEWS Vol 8 No 29 The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Alan Gilbert, this week welcomed Nobel Laureates Professor Bert Sakmann and Professor Peter Doherty, to the University. Professor Doherty and Professor Sakmann have taken up their appointments this month as Eminent Scholars in a program where they will spend up to two months each year at the University of Melbourne over three years. A quick glance at the two Eminent Scholars' programs shows that they pack a great deal into their Melbourne visits. Public lectures, forums, symposiums and lectures to undergraduate students are included, with students in the new Bachelor of Biomedical Science degree being lectured by both Nobel Laureates. While he is attached to the University's Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Professor Doherty is building scientific collaborative links with Associate Professor Frank Carbone. Also under discussion is the possibility of setting up a Melbourne node of his American laboratory which would allow him to undertake some of his research at the University of Melbourne. At the end of this year, Dr Stephen Turner, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department, will move to Professor Doherty's laboratory at St Jude's Hospital in Memphis as the first direct exchange student. Dr Turner will spend two to three years in Memphis on a fellowship from St Jude's Hospital.

The interior of the cell differs in important respects from its outside. For example the contents of positive sodium and potassium ions and negatively charged chloride ions are quite different. This leads to a difference in electrical potential over the cell membrane, amounting to 0.03 to 0.1 volts. This is usually referred to as the membrane potential.

Week in Photos Search the Globe: Today Yesterday TWO GERMANS WIN NOBEL PRIZE IN MEDICINE FOR CELL RESEARCH Author: By Karin Strand, Associated Press Date: Tuesday, October 8, 1991 Page: Section: NATIONAL/FOREIGN STOCKHOLM Two Germans won the Nobel Prize in medicine yesterday for discovering how cells communicate, a development that has helped scientists better explain the cause of such debilitating diseases as diabetes and cystic fibrosis. Awarded the $1 million prize by the Nobel Assembly of the Karolinska Institute were Erwin Neher, 47, and Bert Sakmann, 49, of the Max-Planck Institutes in Goettingen and Heidelberg, Germany. Through their findings, "researchers have been able to look at old medicines with new eyes and it is now possible to tailor-make a drug in order to achieve an optimal effect," said Alf Lindberg, secretary of the Nobel Assembly. It is unusual for Nobel Prize winners to be so young, but the methods developed by Neher and Sakmanns are now used worldwide by scientists. Their technique was perfected in 1981, and was used immediately to test and modify existing medicine.

The Scientist 5[23]:0, Nov. 25, 1991 Research 1991 Nobel Prize Winners Sparked Fundamental Advances By Rebecca Andrews Author: REBECCA ANDREWS The 1991 Nobel Prize winners in science were announced last month, and for the first time in 43 years, none of the laureates is from the United States. Yet their workin nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, phase transitions in materials science, and patch-clamp methodologiescollectively has influenced research in the U.S. and throughout the world. As is typical of Nobel Prize winners, their pioneering advances have changed the way science is done across the spectrum of scientific disciplines. Chemistry The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to Swiss chemist Richard R. Ernst, of the Eidgen”ssische Technische Hochschule (ETH) in Zrich, Switzerland. Ernst's contributions to the development of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy have made the technique nearly indispensable in many of today's scientific laboratories studying a wide range of phenomena, such as the three-dimensional structure of proteins, the chemical interactions of molecules in solution, and the effects of drugs on metabolic processes. Although Ernst has been active in the field of NMR spectroscopy for some 30 years, he was recognized by the Nobel committee primarily for two fundamental advances, Fourier-transform NMR (FT-NMR) and two-dimensional NMR (2D-NMR).

Their statement predicts that our security depends on immediate environmental and social reform. The following is the text of their statement: THE STATEMENT: The most profound danger to world peace in the coming years will stem not from the irrational acts of states or individuals but from the legitimate demands of the world's dispossessed. Of these poor and disenfranchised, the majority live a marginal existence in equatorial climates. Global warming, not of their making but originating with the wealthy few, will affect their fragile ecologies most. Their situation will be desperate and manifestly unjust.

reflections See also commentary meditation Contents: March/April 2002 p r o p h e c y The Dispossessed by 100 Nobel Laureates The following statement was released on December 7, 2001, by 100 Nobel Prize winners to coincide with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the first Nobel prizes. Although the statement began circulating among the laureates last summer, most of them signed it after September 11. The most profound danger to world Peace in the coming years will stem not from the irrational acts of states or individuals but from the legitimate demands of the world's dispossessed. Of these poor and disenfranchised, the majority live a marginal existence in equatorial climates. Global warming, not of their making but originating with the wealthy few, will affect their fragile ecologies most. Their situation will be desperate and manifestly unjust. It cannot be expected, therefore, that in all cases they will be content to await the beneficence of the rich. If then we permit the devastating power of modern weaponry to spread through this combustible human landscape, we invite a conflagration that can engulf both rich and poor. The only hope for the future lies in cooperative international action, legitimized by democracy. It is time to turn our backs on the unilateral search for security, in which we seek to shelter behind walls. Instead, we must persist in the quest for united action to counter both global warming and a weaponized world.
