We are delighted to be able to congratulate Randy Schekman, one of the Heads of Faculty for Cell Biology at F1000Prime, on being awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Professor Schekman was awarded the prize jointly with James Rothman and former F1000Prime Faculty Member Thomas Südhof “for their discoveries of machinery regulating vesicle traffic, a major transport system in our cells”.
Below is an interview, taken last year by F1000Prime Publisher Kathleen Wets, where Professor Schekman tells us about his work on the mechanisms of membrane assembly and vesicle trafficking in yeast and mammalian cells – research that has now been so deservedly recognised.
Professor Schekman is the eighth F1000Prime Faculty Member to be awarded the Nobel Prize to date, as well as one of the more than 100 Fellows of The Royal Society to be found among our contributors.
Our congratulations again to all three winners!
