M. Nurse (b. 1949), Leland H. Hartwell and R. Timothy Hunt were awarded the
2001 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries of key
regulators of the cell cycle." Nurse, then at the Imperial Cancer Fund, London,
had identified, cloned and characterized CDK (cyclin dependent kinase),
one of the key regulators of the cell cycle. In 2006 Nurse, now
President of the Rockefeller Foundation, made headlines with a warning that the
United States was in danger of falling behind in scientific research. He
identified threats to U.S. research efforts, including decreased funding, poor
science education, obstacles to recruiting foreign scientists and politically
motivated attacks on science. Lightly worn at lower right blank corner. Nurses'
name written in pencil (unknown hand) at lower right margin of verso. Fine
condition.
