1964- 1968 is the research assistant of CNRS, and 1969 is the associate researcher. He has been the research director of CNRS since 1974. 1978-2005 served as the director of 9022 research group of CNRS "Immune Response and Evolution of Insects", 1993-2005 served as the director of CNRS Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Strasbourg.
He is the president of the French National Academy of Sciences (2007-2008) and an academician of several academies, including the French National Academy of Sciences, the German National Academy of Sciences, the European Academy of Sciences, the American National Academy of Sciences, the Russian Academy of Sciences and the French Academy of Sciences.
On 20 1 1 year, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to JulesHoffmann, president of the French National Academy of Sciences, a professor at the University of Strasbourg and a Frenchman, in recognition of his achievements in the study of immune system function. The other two biologists who shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine with him were Bruce Beightler of the United States and Ralph steinman of Canada. "Hoffman's award is not only the honor of this internationally renowned scientist, but also the honor of all French scientists." The French government is happy that Hoffman won the prize.
Jules Hoffmann? Frenchman Jules Hoffmann, American bruce butler and Canadian ralph steinman won the 20 1 1 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. "The winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine discovered the key principle of immune system activation, which completely changed people's understanding of the immune system," the Nobel Prize jury said in a communique. Jules Hoffmann and bruce butler shared half of the Nobel Prize for their discovery of activating innate immunity, and ralph steinman won the other half of the Nobel Prize for discovering dendritic cells and their role in adaptive immunity. Hours after the Nobel Prize was announced, the judges learned that ralph steinman had passed away.
Jules Hoffmann entered the Institute of Molecular Cell Biology of the University of Strasbourg from 65438 to 0964. He is an outstanding scientist, and this year's Nobel Prize has been added to his long list of winners. 20 10 won the Rosenstiel Prize in immunology. 20 1 1 was a year in which Jules Hoffmann won numerous awards: Keyo Award, Gairdner Award, Shaw Life Science and Medicine Award and Gold Award of French National Academy of Sciences. The French Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research believes that the Nobel Prize "witnessed the outstanding scientific achievements in the field of French scientific research".
Jules Hoffmann 194 1 was born in Luxemburg, and 1970 acquired French nationality. As a professor at the University of Strasbourg, biologist Jules Hoffmann devoted his main energy to the genetic mechanism and molecular research of the innate immune effect of insects, thus becoming a world-renowned expert. Jules Hoffmann was the president of the French National Academy of Sciences from 2007 to 2008. He is also an academician of the American National Academy of Sciences, the German National Academy of Sciences and the Russian National Academy of Sciences.
Starting from 1980, Jules Hoffmann decided to concentrate all his energy on studying a tiny flying insect, namely fruit fly, which has been familiar to laboratories all over the world for a century. Hoffman found that, contrary to humans, fruit flies do not need vaccines because they have innate immune function. In fact, this insect is a simplified life system, which has many similarities with mammals. Biologists have updated their understanding of vertebrate immune system when determining the main receptors in the defense process of fruit flies.
Jules Hoffmann's cooperative research with bruce butler and ralph steinman in immunology has led Toll the discovery of toll-like receptors, which are hitherto unknown in this field. This important discovery can better understand the body's immediate defense response when it is attacked by infectious diseases (such as asthma, Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis).
The application prospect of this discovery in human health is infinite. The jury evaluated the research results of the three winners "opening up a new way for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, cancer and inflammatory diseases". Therefore, these findings may be beneficial to the development of therapeutic vaccines and the success of anticancer.
"French researchers have the ability to engage in scientific research in the most cutting-edge fields in the world and have made outstanding contributions. The Nobel Prize in Medicine is another recognition of their outstanding achievements, "stressed the French Prime Minister. The last time the French won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was in 2008, which was won by Luc Montagni and Fran? oise Barr-Sinosi. Winning this award again this year proves the vitality and quality of French scientific research in the medical field.
20111210, the three winners will receive prizes at the official award ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden. The grand prize is * * *100000 Swedish kronor (1080000 euros).
