Born – March 7, 1944 AD. He is an embryologist from Scotland. He is an American geneticist and chronobiologist. Jeffrey Hall, Michael Rossbys, and Michael Young explain the genetic and molecular basis of how biological clocks coordinate with cells and organisms during the 24-hour cycle of the planet. Award received is Nobel (2017).

Ralph M. Steinman
Born – 14 January 1943 AD and Died – 30 September 2011 AD. He is a Canadian biologist. He pointed out that T-cells are dendritic cells. Elucidates the role of specific dendritic cells in acquired immunity. This discovery will contribute to the cure of allergies, organ transplants, type-1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis of the brain and spinal cord. Awarded Nobel in Medicine (2011) and Canada Gardner International Prize (2003).
Tim Hunt
Born-19 February 1943 AD. He is a British chemist. Hartwell, Hunt, and Maxim Nurse discovered that specific genes control cell cycle function. Cell formation, growth and subsequent division are accomplished through the cell cycle. Awarded Nobel in Medicine (2001), Royal Medal etc.
Christiane Nusslein Volhard
Born-20 October 1942 AD. He is a German biologist. Wisehouse and Näslein Vollhard identified and classified fruit fly genes. Discovered the regulation of genes in embryonic development. Awarded Nobel Prize in Medicine (1995).
Tasuku Honjo
Born-27 January 1942 AD. He is a Japanese biochemist. Patrick Ellison and Tasuku Honjo researched a type of immune system protein to show that this protein causes disease remission by melting or exploding cancer tumors. The award received is the Nobel Prize in Medicine (2018).
Stanley B. Prusiner
Born – May 28, 1942. He is an American neurologist and biochemist. He discovered the prion, the pathogen responsible for Kreutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Awarded Nobel Prize in Medicine (1997) and Keio Medical Science Prize.
Jules A. Hoffmann
Born on August 2, 1941. He is a French biologist. Beutler and Hoffman discovered the genetic strategy for activating innate immunity. Awards received include Nobel in Medicine (2011), Balzan Prize (2007), Keio Medical Science Prize (2010) etc.
George Smith
Born-10 March 1941 AD. He is an American biologist. Frances Arnold, George Smith and Gregory Winter discovered that antibodies produced by phage display could prevent autoimmune diseases and cure metastatic cancer. Awarded Nobel in Chemistry (2018).
Sir Martin John Evans
Born-1 January 1941 AD. He is a British biologist. Oliver Smithis, Renato Capecchi and John Evans researched mammalian embryonic cells and DNA recombination. Discovered powerful technology to target and inactivate specific genes. Awarded Nobel in Medicine (2007), Albert Losker Award etc.
Leland Harrison Hartwell
Born-October 30, 1939. He is an American scientist. Hartwell, Hunt, and Maxim Nurse discovered that specific genes control cell cycle function. Cell formation, growth and subsequent division are accomplished through the cell cycle. His books are – The Harvey Lectures Series 90 and Art Notebook to Accompany Genetics. Received awards Nobel in Medicine (2001), Rosenstiel Award, Genetics Society of America Medal, Komen Brinker Award, Albert Lasker Award, Massry Prize etc.
