National Academy of Sciences
The National Academy of Sciences is comprised of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Members and foreign associates are elected in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research. Thirty-four Rockefeller University scientists are members or foreign associates of The National Academy of Sciences.
2011 Michel C. Nussenzweig
Michel Nussenzweig, Sherman Fairchild Professor at Rockefeller and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, combines a variety of techniques from biochemistry and molecular biology with gene targeting and transgenic technologies to get an atomic-level look at the workings of the immune system. Dr. Nussenzweig has provided important insights into how autoimmune diseases develop and has developed methods that target specific antigens to dendritic cells, which may lead to both vaccines against pathogens and treatments for autoimmunity. Dr. Nussenzweig, who is head of the Laboratory of Molecular Immunology, is a Rockefeller alumnus and joined the Rockefeller faculty in 1990.
