Jerusalem – The American biochemist whose research was helped by scientists in the morning to get into the treatment of coronavirus and HIV won this year Wolf awards, a prestigious Israeli reward in art and science.
Pamela Björkman from the California Institute of Technology won the “Offer New Nades in the Fight against Infectious Diseases,” said the Wolf Fund, which he rewarded the award, Monday.
Björkman research “Unlocked the secrets that the immune system identifies and the battle of pathogen, developing a change in games that change against some fresh viral enemies of humanity,” said the fund.
Eight others also received a funded state award, which was granted a year 47 years. Many awards winners continued to receive Nobel Prize.
Björkman grew up in Oregon and studied at the University of Oregon, Harvard and Stanford before moving to Caltech to start class in 1989. years. Its research focuses in the way in which the immune system is identified in the manner of the immune system. The field was broken, the Fund said, in how scientists understand the recommendations and strategies of the immunization of the T-Station for HIV. T cells are white blood cells that help fight disease.
From Pandemic Covid-19 worked on the development of a new immunogen design strategy that drove certain antibodies against coronavirus.
“Pamela Björkman’s paper offers a view of the new rational design strategy for future vaccines to address the greatest immunization challenges of humanity,” the fund wrote.
This year’s award in architecture was awarded to the Chinese architect Tiantatian Xu for his work in Rural China, who said the prize committee “transformed villages in the entire China economic, socially and culturally”.
XU studied architecture at Harvard a graduate school-graded school before returning to China, starting his own firm and works on numerous public projects that have rural economies in the village.

Also receiving award is Professors Jainendra Jain from the State University of Pennsylvania, Moty Heiblum from the Israeli Institute of Science James Eisenstein from Caltech in physics and Helmut Schwarz from Technische Universität Berlin in Chemistry.
Past laureatates include astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, artist Marc Chagall, Conductor Zubin Mehta and musician Stevie Wonder.
