\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\tThe jury president, biologist Julio Rodr\u00edguez Villanueva, announced the decision of the jury to award Joan Massagu\u00e9, together with the North American researchers Judah Folkman, Bert Vogelstein and Robert Weinberg and the Briton Tony Hunter at midday. The document highlights that, from their different lines of investigation, these scientists are at the vanguard of the fight against the set of diseases known as cancer, one of the greatest scientific challenges faced by humanity.”<\/p>\n
The jury has recognised the “enormous impact” of the scientific production of the five awardees “which exceeds 266,000 bibliographical citations,” implying “the highest index of references registered in all the fields of the international scientific community.” The prize also reflects the “great contribution” of their work, “which is a determinant for knowledge on the bases of cancer and the development of new lines of treatment.”<\/p>\n
Joan Massagu\u00e9, (born in Barcelona 1953) was honoured for his studies on the characterization and function of critical receptors for the regulation of cell proliferation and his “contribution to an improved understanding of the mechanisms which lead to tumor metastasis.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
