Paul 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 soiled
on verso. Fine condition.
