Since the MRC was set up in 1913, 24 Nobel prizes have been awarded to MRC-supported scientists, shared among 33 individuals. Sir Edwin Mellor Southern FRS FRSE (born 7 June 1938)[4] is an English Lasker Award-winning molecular biologist, Emeritus Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford and a fellow of Trinity College, Oxford. [19] His nomination for the Royal Society reads: .mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 40px}.mw-parser-output .templatequote .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;padding-left:1.6em;margin-top:0}, Dr. Southern has done pioneering work on the organization of DNA sequences in chromosomes. Chemistry: Lithium-ion batteries (John Goodenough) EDIT: Yay! These charities are financed using royalty income from licensing microarray technology. Therefore, Edwin Southern and Alec Jeffreys are considered strong contenders in the running for the Nobel Prize 2020, in either chemistry or physiology/medicine. The northern blot, western blot and eastern blot, related procedures for the analysis of RNA, protein and post-translational modification of proteins, respectively, are all puns on Southern's name. Proteins are composed of amino acid residues and have a defined three-dimensional structure. The Nobel Prize in Physics 2016 was divided, one half awarded to David J. Thouless, the other half jointly to F. Duncan M. Haldane and J. Michael Kosterlitz "for theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter". This powerful technique is a staple of molecular biology laboratory procedures still used today (, ). King is an American geneticist who studies human genetic heterogeneity and complex traits. Southern is also the founder and chairman of Oxford Gene Technology. Sir Edwin Mellor Southern FRS FRSE (born 7 June 1938) is an English Lasker Award-winning molecular biologist, Emeritus Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford and a fellow of Trinity College, Oxford. He continued as a graduate student (then Demonstrator, 1963) in the Department of Chemistry, University of Glasgow, where he was awarded his PhD in 1962.[10]. The procedure is also frequently used to determine the number of copies of a gene in the genome. These and other studies on repetitive DNA he showed both short and long range periodicities. It is this form that dictates the molecula… In 2005 he was awarded the prestigious Albert Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research,[4][16] jointly with Alec Jeffreys of the University of Leicester for his invention of the Southern blot.
