(For elucidating the functional and structural architecture of ion channel proteins, which govern the electrical potential of membranes throughout nature, thereby generating nerve impulses and controlling muscle contraction, cardiac rhythm, and hormone secretion.)
(For a lifetime of contributions to neuroscience \u2014 including discovery of a method for measuring cerebral blood flow that led to current brain imaging techniques, adoptive studies in schizophrenia that established its genetic origin, and visionary leadership in mental health that ushered psychiatry into the molecular era.)
(For developing an innovative approach to drug design based on protein structure and using it to create the ACE inhibitors: powerful oral agents for the treatment of high blood pressure, heart failure, and diabetic kidney disease.)
