Timeline The Vault Family Stories The Nobel Club From C.N. Yang to Barbara McClintock, they brought Long Island the prestige of the world's most coveted prize Newsday Photo, 1973/Bob Luckey Theoretical physicist C.N. Yang, instructing at the board, was awarded a Nobel Prize in '57 for his work on the conservation of parity. By Earl Lane Washington Bureau W ORK CONDUCTED at Long Island's Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton has led to four Nobel prizes in physics over the years, providing new insights into the structure and behavior of matter. In the realm of biology, research carried out at Cold Spring Harbor Lab led to three Nobel Prizes that helped lay groundwork for advances in modern genetics. Here's a look at the scientists and their research. Nobel Winners in Physics In 1956 theoretical physicists C.N. Yang of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and T.D. Lee of Columbia University spent the summer as guest scientists at Brookhaven Lab. Yang and Lee were intrigued by experiments with the lab's Cosmotron, an atom smasher, that suggested that one of the most fundamental principles of physics called the conservation of parity was being violated. The conservation of parity implies that if an event is possible, its reflection in a mirror represents an equally possible event. Such symmetry, first probed by Eugene Paul Wigner during the 1930s, was accepted as an inviolable law.

To the President of the United States and Members of the United States Congress: There is a broad consensus supporting the President's National Bioethics Advisory Commission's proposal to ban the creation of a human being by somatic nuclear transplants. The Commission urged that such a ban should not deliberately or inadvertently interfere with biomedical research that is critical to the understanding and eventual prevention of human disease. To that end, we the undersigned endorse the statement on cloning from the American Society for Cell Biology. If legislation is deemed to be necessary, we respectfully urge you to ensure that it be limited to the cloning of human beings, and does not include language that impedes critical ongoing and potential new research.

Media Information - 4/3/02 J.K Rowling becomes an Honorary Fellow Lord Sutherland made President-elect More than sixty outstanding individuals have been elected to Fellowship of The Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE), including the international children’s author, J.K Rowling. The distinguished academic Lord Sutherland of Houndwood has also been made President-elect of the Society, following elections held at the RSE on Monday 4 th March. J.K Rowling’s books about the adventures of Harry Potter have had an international impact in reversing the world-wide trend in decreasing literacy. Her writing has attracted a huge number of children and younger adults who previously had difficulties in beginning to read, and her work has dispelled the myth that children lack the attention-span to engage with longer books. Honoured with an OBE for services to literature, Dr Rowling is the recipient of more than 40 literary prizes. As an organisation which, through its Royal Charter for the "advancement of learning and useful knowledge" is working to contribute to the social, economic and cultural wellbeing of Scotland, the RSE recognises J.K Rowling’s outstanding contribution to stimulating learning.

from UK Public Relations GENETICS RESEARCHER PHILLIP SHARP WINS ACHIEVEMENT AWARD Dan Adkins, 606-257-1754 March 11, 1999 (Lexington, Ky.) Kentucky native Phillip A. Sharp, whose research into molecular genetics has altered medical thinking about cancer and hereditary diseases, has been named the recipient of the 1999 University of Kentucky Libraries Medallion for Intellectual Achievement. He will be presented with the award during the UK Library Associates' annual meeting at 8:15 p.m. Wednesday, March 24 at the Singletary Center for the Arts. Michael Beschloss will present the Edward F. Prichard Jr. Lecture. Sharp, 54, a native of Falmouth, and his colleague Richard J. Roberts of Derby, England, dramatically changed the field of molecular genetics in 1977, when they discovered DNA molecules occurring in segments, or "splicing." Their research yielded to the possibility that cancer and other hereditary diseases may be treated by correcting problems in genetic splicing. Sharp and Roberts won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Medicine. Sharp is a trustee and member of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation; chairman of the General Motors Cancer Research Foundation Awards Assembly; member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in the United Kingdom; member of the President's Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology; and member of the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology.

Sharp, Phillip A. A sense of place was and remains an important part of my life. I was born in a rural community in the northern hill country of Kentucky. My earliest memories are those of a child playing around the house on our family farm, located in a bend of the Licking River near McKinneysburg. My mother, Kathrin Colvin Sharp, had grown up in that same house and her family had been part of this community for many generations. My father, Joseph Walter Sharp, grew up nearby within walking distance of the nearest town and county-seat, Falmouth. Both parents came from large families and I was surrounded by grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings and cousins. My formal education was entirely in the public schools of Pendleton County: McKinneysburg Elementary, Butler Elementary and High School and Pendleton County High School. Even though my studies never interfered with sports or fun, I managed to gain an appreciation of math and science. At the end of my stay at Caltech, I opted to extend my postdoctoral period and begin to study the structure and pathway of expression of genes in human cells. The expression of genes of animal viruses with DNA genomes was the only experimentally approachable system at that time, and this led me to a further postdoctoral year at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory under the mentorship of Jim Watson. Here, I entered a close-knit scientific commune of extremely talented people who lived and worked together in an isolated environment for nine months, and then were immersed in a continuous scientific meeting for the remaining three summer months.

LAS Site Guide LAS Home Page About LAS Academic Units Students Faculty/Staff Make A Gift Search Dr. Phillip Sharp A Genius for Genes A true giant in the field of modern molecular biology, Sharp is a native Kentuckian who stayed close to home to do undergraduate work in chemistry and mathematics at Union College. From there, as related in his biography, "Dr. Dan Foote encouraged me to apply to the Department of Chemistry at Illinois. This old and distinguished department must have recognized some hidden promise as I was offered a fellowship and soon began graduate studies under Victor Bloomfield in physical chemistry, an excellent mentor who encouraged both my scientific and cultural growth." Encouraged indeed, he went on to do groundbreaking research on the molecular biology of tumor viruses, generating the first map of an adenovirus, a class of viruses that are common causes of respiratory and other infections in humans. In 1978, Sharp founded the world's oldest independent biotechnology company, Biogen, a global leader in developing drugs for health care through genetic engineering. Yet it is his Nobel-recognized discovery of introns for which Sharp is best known. Genes are arranged in pieces along chromosomes and then copied into molecules called messenger RNA, which must then be processed to be made "legible." The way in which this processing occurs, called RNA splicing, is what Sharp first described. It helped show how the genes of viruses, as well as humans, encode proteins. Says Thomas B. Rauchfuss, director of LAS's School of Chemical Sciences, "It is a discovery so fundamental in its implications that it is the stuff of elementary molecular genetics and, as a result, can be found in all the textbooks."

Premios Nobel de Fisiología y Medicina Premio Nobel : premios concedidos cada año a personas, entidades u organismos por sus aportaciones extraordinarias realizadas durante el año anterior en los campos de la Física, Química, Fisiología y Medicina, Literatura, Paz y Economía. Otorgados por primera vez el 10 de diciembre de 1901, los premios están financiados por los intereses devengados de un fondo en fideicomiso contemplado en el testamento del químico, inventor y filántropo sueco Alfred Bernhard Nobel. Además de una retribución en metálico, el ganador del Premio Nobel recibe también una medalla de oro y un diploma con su nombre y el campo en que ha logrado tal distinción. Los jueces pueden dividir cada premio entre dos o tres personas, aunque no está permitido repartirlo entre más de tres. Si se considerara que más de tres personas merecen el premio, se concedería de forma conjunta. El fondo está controlado por un comité de la Fundación Nobel, compuesto por seis miembros en cada mandato de dos años: cinco elegidos por los administradores de los organismos contemplados en el testamento, y el sexto nombrado por el Gobierno sueco. Los seis miembros serán ciudadanos suecos o noruegos. De acuerdo con la voluntad de Nobel, se han establecido institutos separados en Suecia y Noruega para favorecer los objetivos de la Fundación con el fin de potenciar cada uno de los cinco campos en los que se conceden los galardones. En 1968, para conmemorar su 300 aniversario, el Banco Nacional de Suecia creó el Premio de Ciencias Económicas Banco de Suecia en Memoria de Alfred Nobel, que sería otorgado por la Real Academia Sueca de las Ciencias (conocida con anterioridad por el nombre de Academia Sueca de las Ciencias). La Real Academia Sueca de las Ciencias concede también los premios de Física y Química.

NIH Nobel Prize Winners 1968Dr. Marshall W. Nirenberg, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering the key to deciphering the genetic code. Dr. Nirenberg and two other researchers, working independently, with whom he shared the prize, made major advances in understanding the chemical mechanisms by which genetic language or information is translated into various proteins that determine the nature and characteristics of all living things. Dr. Nirenberg was the first NIH Nobelist and also the first Federal employee to receive a Nobel Prize. 1970Dr. Julius Axelrod, National Institute of Mental Healthshared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with two scientists from England and Swedenfor independent research into the chemistry of nerve transmission. The three were cited for their “discoveries concerning the humoral transmitters in the nerve terminals and the mechanisms for their storage, release and inactivation.” Specifically, Dr. Axelrod found an enzyme that terminates the action of the nerve transmitter, noradrenaline. He also demonstrated that some antidepressant drugs act by preventing the reuptake of noradrenaline and thus prolong its action in the brain. 1972Dr. Christian B. Anfinsen

menuSelected=-1; prefix="../"; Jan 2002 Issue Nobel Laureate Kick-Starts "Distinguished Lecture" Series How better to kick off a series of "Distinguished Lectures" than with a world-renowned scientist? The Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA) did just that with Dr Phillip A. Sharp, 1993 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine and eminent Institute Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), as the inaugural speaker. Beamed live via a videoconferencing link from MIT to audiences in NUS and Nanyang Technological University, the seminar shed light on mechanisms controlling gene expression in human cells. Dr Sharp's discovery of discontinuous genes, i.e. well-separated segments, at a time when genes were thought to be continuous segments within DNA molecule strands, won him the Nobel Prize. The lecture series is a joint effort among NUS, NTU, SMA and MIT's Industrial Liaison Program to promote broader participation from the three universities using state-of-the-art distance education technology. In the lineup for the next seminar in February is Professor Lester Thurow, Professor of Economics and Management at MIT, former Dean of the Sloan School of Management and three-time New York Times best-selling author.
