“The discovery of biomolecular condensates has fundamentally changed how we think about cellular processes and disease,” said Director Nipam Patel. “It is a tribute to the tremendous value of the ’s education and training programs that the original observation was in the Physiology course, and that in the decade to follow, many scientists associated with the vastly extended the observation and pioneered a new field of study.”
The was founded in 2013 by high-tech pioneers Sergey Brin, Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, , and Anne Wojcicki.
“The laureates honored today embody the remarkable power of fundamental science,” said Yuri Milner, “both to reveal deep truths about the Universe, and to improve human lives.”
“The 2023 laureates have produced absolutely stellar science,” said Anne Wojcicki. “The creativity, ingenuity and sheer perseverance that went into this work is awe-inspiring.”
