Best Vesicle Transport
Thomas Südhof is a German-American biochemist whose research mapped the molecular mechanics of synaptic transmission in the brain. He discovered how calcium ions act as a trigger for the rapid release of neurotransmitters, allowing nerve cells to communicate with one another. His lab identified the...
James Rothman is an American biochemist and cell biologist whose research mapped the mechanisms of intracellular transport. He investigated how small membrane-bound sacs called vesicles deliver proteins and other molecules to precise locations within the cell. His research identified specific protei...
Randy Schekman is an American cell biologist and professor at the University of California, Berkeley, where he has spent most of his academic career. He shared the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with James Rothman and Thomas Südhof for identifying the genetic basis of vesicle trafficking...
