Rothman, a graduate of Yale College (Class of 1971), is the Wallace Professor of the Biomedical Sciences at Yale and Chair of the School of Medicine's Department of Cell Biology. He is also a Research Professor at UCL.
About the Talk: In his lecture, Professor Rothman will summarise in layman's terms the research recognised by the Nobel Prize, and his journey from early influences at Yale, touching on current issues and challenges for continuing international competitiveness of our countries in basic research and its industrial and economic impacts.
