The winners of the three prizes of the Lasker Prize will share a prize of $250,000. Due to the new crown epidemic, the 2020 Lasker Prize has been suspended.

2021 Lasker Basic Medical Research Award commended three scientists discovered that can activate or silence the light-sensitive microbial protein of a single brain cell,And use it to develop optogenetics, a revolutionary technology in neuroscience. Dieter Oesterhelt (Dieter Oesterhelt) discovered an archaeal protein that can pump proton pump out of the cell when exposed to light. Peter Hegemann then discovered the related channel protein in the unicellular algae . Karl Deisseroth used these molecules to create a light-triggered system that can be applied to living, free-moving animals to decipher the role of specific types or even individual neurons in the maze brain circuit. Now, hundreds of laboratories scattered around the world are using optogenetic methods to crack the complex networks behind healthy nervous systems and neurological diseases.

modified mRNA-- fight against new outbreaks of crown
Katalin Carrico (Katalin Karikó)

Drew Weissman (Drew Weissman)
University of Pennsylvania, U.S. University of Pennsylvania
The 2021 Senior Vice President of Karike-Katalinka and BioNTech Clinical Medical Research Award Drew Weissman, Professor of Vaccine Research, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Silfania, USA. Based on the modification of messenger RNA (mRNA), they have developed a new treatment technology that makes the rapid development of an efficient new crown mRNA vaccine possible. mRNA technology not only provides a tool for curbing the new crown pandemic, but also promotes the treatment and prevention of a series of different diseases such as cancer, AIDS and so on.
The two scientists have now won the US$3 million Breakthrough Prize and the US$1 million Albany Medical Center Prize in Medicine and Biomedical Research). According to the New York Times, Weisman mentioned in an interview this week that although he and Kaliko were honored, the advent of mRNA vaccines was not only due to the work of mRNA modification. “We improved the mRNA, we Won the honor, but the vaccine is based on our more than 20 years of work and the work of hundreds or even thousands of other scientists."

basic discovery, academic leadership,And public advocacy
David Baltimore (David Baltimore)
California Institute of Technology
The 2021 Lasker-Koshland Special Achievement Award in Medical Science is awarded to David Baltimore, recognizes his academic leadership, his guidance to outstanding scientists, and his role as a public science advocacy Influence.
Baltimore is one of the most outstanding biomedical retrovirus scientists in the past 50 years, and he discovered and isolated the reverse transcriptase of span3span_span3_span_span_span_span span3span, therefore won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1975. He is currently the Honorary President and Distinguished Professor of Biology of California Institute of Technology, and he was President of California Institute of Technology from 1997 to 2006.Served as the director of the Joint Translational Medicine Center of California Institute of Technology and UCLA; he also served as the president of Rockefeller University from 1990 to 1991, and was the founder of the Whitehead Institute of Biomedical Research from 1982 to 1990 He is the director of in 2007 and served as the chairman of of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
As a researcher, administrator, educator, and public advocate, Baltimore has had a profound influence on international science. He is involved in immunology, virology, cancer research, biotechnology and recombinant DNA research Made important contributions. He has trained many doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers, some of whom have achieved outstanding scientific achievements. In addition to the Nobel Prize, he has also received a number of honors such as the 1999 National Medal of Science.
