Americans and Briton share Nobel prize in gene manipulation
Mario Capecchi of Utah Oliver Smithies of North Carolina and Sir Martin Evans of Wales win the 2007 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for developing a mouse gene targeting technique. The method allows disabling specific genes in mice to study human diseases and has transformed genetic research. Capecchi, Smithies, and Evans are cited for their revolutionary work enabling insights into heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and more. Capecchi, born in Italy, survived WWII chaos before rising to Nobel laureate status.
