Roger Yonchien Tsien (pronounced / tʃ ɛ n /, "CHEN"; February 1, 1952 – August 24, 2016) was an American biochemist.He was a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego [7] and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008 for his discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein, in collaboration with organic chemist Osamu Shimomura and ...
Green Fluorescent Protein Chem Soc Rev themed issue dedicated to the 2008 Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry, Professors Osamu Shimomura, Martin Chalfie and Roger Y. Tsien Molecule of the Month, June 2003 : an illustrated overview of GFP by David Goodsell.
Martin Lee Chalfie (born January 15, 1947) is an American scientist. He is University Professor at Columbia University. [3] He shared the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with Osamu Shimomura and Roger Y. Tsien "for the discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein, GFP". [4] He holds a PhD in neurobiology from Harvard University.
Douglas Prasher. Douglas C. Prasher (born August 1951) is an American molecular biologist. He is known for his work to clone and sequence the genes for the photoprotein aequorin [1] and green fluorescent protein (GFP) [2] and for his proposal to use GFP as a tracer molecule. [3]
Doctoral advisor. Yoshimasa Hirata. Osamu Shimomura (下村 脩, Shimomura Osamu, August 27, 1928 – October 19, 2018[ 1 ]) was a Japanese organic chemist and marine biologist, and professor emeritus at Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts and Boston University School of Medicine. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in ...
During this time, Lippincott-Schwartz began developing techniques to use green fluorescent protein (GFP) to visualize cellular trafficking pathways in living cells. [2] [15] She refined the technique of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) to use in studying the dynamics of membrane proteins. In this method, GFP-tagged membrane ...
Frederick Sanger is one out of three laureates to be awarded the Nobel Prize twice in the same subject, in 1958 and 1980. John Bardeen, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956 and 1972, and Karl Barry Sharpless, who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2001 and 2022, are the others. Two others have won Nobel Prizes twice, one in ...
The 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Andrew Fire and Craig C. Mello for their discovery of RNA interference in C. elegans. [147] In 2008, Martin Chalfie shared a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on green fluorescent protein; some of the research involved the use of C. elegans.
