"...Sydney Brenner, H. Robert Horvitz, and John E. Sulston for their discovery of programmed cell death (also called apoptosis). To be precise, the Horvitz lab at MIT discovered apoptosis. Brenner and Sulston were honored for their roles in establishing C. elegans as an experimental system." From what i know on the subject matter(I will discuss later), apoptosis was not discovered by Horvitz's lab, but was discovered in what i believe was the early 70s by Kerr, Wyllie, and Curie, three British doctors. I am not positive on the dates, or their actual specialities, but I do know for a fact that those three were the first to discover the phenomenon known as apoptosis. I know this all because despite me being only a high school student, I spent the last two years working on my Intel Science Research topic in the field of apoptosis. Unfortunately I never found a mentor and was dropped from the program, but I do have a very good understanding of the process as I would attend monthly meetings at MSKCC in NYC for an attempt to better understand.Email me if you wish to flame me or whatever.
