Thomas Arthur Steitz (born August 23, 1940) is a Sterling Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA
Ada E. Yonath (born 1939) is an Israeli crystallographer best known for her pioneering work on the structure of the ribosome. She is the current director of the Helen and Milton A. Kimmelman Center for Biomolecular Structure and Assembly of the Weizmann Institute of Science. She become the first Israeli woman to win the Nobel Prize out of nine Israeli Nobel laureates, and the first woman in 45 years to win the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
Venkatraman Ramakrishnan,Thomas Arthur Steitz and Ada E. Yonath were together awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for studies of the structure and function of the ribosome".
Physiology/Medicine:2009
Elizabeth Helen Blackburn, (born November 26, 1948) is an Australian born biological researcher at the University of California, San Francisco.
