Description
Tim Hunt won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2001, together with Lee Hartwell and Paul Nurse. He works at Cancer Research UK’s Clare Hall Laboratories. He received the most prestigious honour in scientific research for the discovery of cyclins, a class of proteins that play a key role in regulating the processes of cell growth and division. Knowing how cells divide to produce two identical daughters, and how the process is controlled, helps towards a better understanding of cancers and other diseases that occur when cells divide out of control.
