Botstein awarded Gruber prize
Thursday, 10 July, 2003
Dr David Botstein, of the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics at Princeton University, was yesterday awarded the prestigious 2003 Peter Gruber Genetics prize.
Botstein is a pioneer of the mapping of the human genome, and most recently has researched the development of technological and analytical methods of classifying and understanding human cancers.
"The prize thing is a strange thing, because it was fun," Botstein said of his career at a dinner in Melbourne on Wednesday night.
Last year's winner was 2002 Nobel laureate Robert Horwitz.
