“For a scientific career the most important elements are good teachers and mentors, and a great environment – not only during early years as student and postdoc, but throughout the entire career of a scientist. Now at an arguably rather advanced stage of my career, I need mentors and teachers more than ever – I need people who know better than I to tell me when I am wrong, and to make me aware of my mistakes!” – medicine laureate Thomas Südhof
Südhof helped to solve the mystery of how the cell organises its transport system.
Each cell is a factory that produces and exports molecules, transported around the cell in small packages called vesicles. Three laureates shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2013 for discovering the molecular principles that govern how this cargo is delivered to the right place at the right time in the cell. Südhof revealed how signals instruct vesicles to release their cargo with precision.
