(In recognition of his work on the solid phase method for synthesis of polypeptides and of his application of this method in the first synthesis of an enzyme. His work has made possible the systematic exploration of the structural basis of activity of enzymes, hormones, and antibodies.)
(In recognition of his contributions to knowledge of the cellular basis of the immune response. His formulation of the natural selection theory provided the first comprehensive model based on broad biological principles, and his discovery of a rapid, quantitative method for enumerating antibody-producing cells made possible a new approach to experimental studies of cellular events during immunization, both in his own laboratory and throughout the world.)
(In recognition of his many contributions to our understanding of host defense mechanisms. His elucidation of an array of immunological deficiency syndromes in infants and children susceptible to repeated and overwhelming infections has been particularly outstanding.)
(In recognition of his contributions to the methodology of medical research, and to the clarification of complex epidemiological problems. In particular, his retrospective and prospective studies have established firmly the association between tobacco smoking and cancer of the lung, and the association between ionizing radiation and leukemia.)
(In recognition of his pioneer contributions to our understanding of the metabolism of free fatty acid and adipose tissue, and more recently for the significant work he has done in establishing a valuable method of treating narcotic addiction with methadone.)
