I was born in Nagoya, Japan on September 6th, 1939, the second of three sons. I have also a younger sister. My father was an engineer working for a textile company that had several factories scattered in rural towns in the southern part of Japan. The company policy made it necessary for my father to move from one factory to another every few years. I and my brothers and sister spent most of our childhood in these small provincial towns, enjoying the space and freedom of the countryside. As my elder brother and I reached adolescence, however, my parents decided to send us to Tokyo so that we could receive a better education. I commuted to the prestigious Hibiya high school from my Uncle's home in Tokyo. During the high school years I developed an interest in chemistry, so upon graduation, I chose to take an entrance examination for the Department of Chemistry of the University of Kyoto , the old capital of Japan. After having failed once, I was admitted to this University in 1959. This happened to be one year before the first ten-year term of the defence treaty between Japan and the United States expired and the governments of both countries were preparing for a second ten-year term. The nation was deeply divided between the pragmatic pro-American conservatives and the idealistic anti-military leftists. Being the home of the most radical leftist student groups, classes at Kyoto University were often cancelled due to frequent political discussions and demonstrations on the streets. I was only a passive participant, withdrawn from the turmoil, but could not help having a feeling of defeat shared with many of my classmates when the treaty was finally extended for the next ten-year term. I believe that this experience might have been a major factor in making me give up the original goal of becoming a chemical engineer to pursue the academic life.

Tonegawa Susumu Tonegawa Susumu, 1987 (b. Sept. 5, 1939, Nagoya, Japan), Japanese molecular biologist and immunologist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1987 for his fundamental discoveries concerning the body's production of antibodies Tonegawa received a B.S. degree from Kyoto University in 1963 and earned a Ph.D. in biology from the University of California, San Diego in 1969. He was a member of the Basel Institute for Immunology in Switzerland from 1971 to 1981 and taught biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1981. Tonegawa's research explained how the immune system can produce a vast diversity of antibodies, each of which reacts with and counteracts the effects of a separate antigen (a foreign molecule or microbe). Prior to Tonegawa's work it was not known how the B lymphocytes (the cells that produce antibodies) could with their limited number of genes produce the millions of differently structured antibodies that are specific to a comparable diversity of antigens. In the 1970s Tonegawa proved in a series of experiments that approximately 1,000 pieces of genetic material in the antibody-manufacturing portion of the B lymphocyte can be shuffled or recombined into different sequences, the resulting variations enabling the production of as many as one billion different types of antibodies, each specific to a different antigen. A fundamental mechanism in the immune system was thus revealed.

"Günter realizó uno de los más importantes descubrimientos de la Biología Moderna", dijo el presidente del HHMI, Dr. Purnell W. Choppin. "Una célula puede tener más de mil millones de proteínas, las cuales necesitan dirigirse hacia localizaciones específicas. Mediante una serie de históricos experimentos, Günter demostró que cada proteína tiene su propio 'código molecular', el cual es leído por la célula y así utilizado para conducir a la proteína hacia su correcta localización". Choppin, quien dirigía el laboratorio Rockefeller de Virología antes de unirse al HHMI en 1985, agregó: "Conozco a Günter desde hace más de treinta años y no podría estar más feliz de verlo recibir este honor. No sólo es uno de los más grandes científicos de nuestro tiempo, sino que también es un excelente colega y formador de jóvenes científicos".

Week in Photos Search the Globe: Today Yesterday MIT BIOLOGIST RECEIVES NOBEL IN MEDICINE Author: By Peggy Hernandez, Globe Staff Date: Tuesday, October 13, 1987 Page: Section: METRO CAMBRIDGE Last Friday, Susumu Tonegawa's colleagues, knowing that the Nobel Prize in medicine soon would be awarded, told him, "This year, you'll win a Nobel." But he replied, "Not this year." Yesterday, Nobel Prize officials in Sweden announced that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor had received the 1987 prize in physiology and medicine for his revolutionary work on understanding the body's immune system. "The first thing I thought was: It must be a mistake," said the boyish- looking professor from Newton, who learned of the award when a reporter from Japan called him early yesterday morning. "In the past, when I received prizes, I usually heard first from the organization." The Nobel jurors in announcing the award said Tonegawa, 48, wrote an influential paper in 1976 resolving questions about how the body fights disease. The assembly said the Japanese native's work had dominated research in the area for two years. Tonegawa's experiments found that a body's immune cells during a lifetime reshuffle their genetic makeup to form millions of antibodies against bacteria. The prevailing dogma had held that genes could not change, but that belief had confounded scientists who found that the body could resist newly conceived microbes.

The move towards creating separate business units, begun in the mid- 70s, continued and resulted in the creation of autonomous divisions. Accounting and reporting practices were standardised groupwide, and comprehensive reorganisation, rationalisation and modernisation measures were implemented in all areas. The sale of Maag in 1990 and the spin-off of Givaudan in 2000 left Roche with three divisions: pharmaceuticals, vitamins and fine chemicals, diagnostics. A wide range of pharmaceutical products were introduced over the years to come, and some represented real medical breakthroughs. The acquisition in 1990 of a majority interest in Genentech, a leader in the field of genetic engineering, and the takeover of Syntex Corporation, a strongly research-oriented company, were part of a strategy for strengthening Roche's position in the global healthcare market. With the purchase of Nicholas, a producer of non-prescription medicines, Roche strengthens its portfolio of over-the-counter medicines, an increasingly important area because of the growing trend towards self-medication. By acquiring Boehringer Mannheim, Roche became the world leader in the area of diagnostic market in terms of a unique range of innovative products, depth and breadth of technologies as well as overall geographical presence. Roche intends to continue developing innovative, cost-effective advances in drug therapy, diagnostics, prevention and biomedical research to the ultimate benefit of patients.
