Nobel Prize in Medicine Awarded for Cell Research

bigfatlamer writes: "The Nobel committee has awarded the Prize for Physiology or Medicine to Leland Hartwell of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle and Paul Nurse and Timothy Hunt both of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London. The award was given for their seminal work on cell cycle control in yeast. Those of us who work in the field knew that it would only be a matter of time before these people won a Nobel."
