Quote:Sir Paul Nurse, Director, The Francis Crick Institute
Science has introduced revolutionary changes in understanding ourselves and the natural world, which have acted as major drivers towards culture and civilisation. This knowledge has changed our way of living and the technologies that support society.
Paul Nurse will outline how science could be perceived as the most revolutionary activity of human-kind.Biography:
Paul Nurse is a geneticist and cell biologist who has worked on how the eukaryotic cell cycle is controlled and how cell shape and cell dimensions are determined. His major work has been on the cyclin dependent protein kinases and how they regulate cell reproduction. He is Director of the Francis Crick Institute in London, and has served as President of the Royal Society, Chief Executive of Cancer Research UK and President of Rockefeller University. He shared the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and has received the Albert Lasker Award and the Royal Society's Royal and Copley Medals. He was knighted in 1999 and received the Legion d'honneur in 2003.
