FLORENCE, Italy, Feb. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire-=KYODO JBN/ --
Who are the heroes that have inspired the careers of Nobel Prize winners? What
difficulties have they encountered and how did they overcome them? Each and
every one of us can now delve into the careers and personal lives of some of
the biggest names in the world of science thanks to "Dialogs Beyond Borders," a
new section on the website of the Fondazione Internazionale Menarini, with
interviews given by scientists of the calibre of Louis Ignarro, Donna
Strickland and Barry Marshall.
"My father was originally from Torre del Greco and my mother from Panarea. They
first met in the United States, before the Second World War: my English was
very poor at first and, as you can imagine, my parents were not able to help me
much with reading and writing. But fortunately I have always been very curious,
even at a young age. Mine has truly been an American Success Story," commented
Louis Ignarro, Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine "for his
contribution to discovering the effects of the nitric oxide molecule on the
cardiovascular system."
Amongst the great names hosted in the "Beyond Borders" series, you can find
Donna Strickland, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018 for
"revolutionary inventions in the field of laser physics," and Tasuku Honjo, who
won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2018 for his research on how to use the
immune system as a weapon to fight cancer. His studies in the field of
immunotherapy, conducted alongside his colleague James Allison, are considered
a milestone in the fight against cancer.
Just a click and you can listen to the story of Barry Marshall who became Nobel
Prize winner in Medicine in 2005 thanks to his discovery of the role of
Helicobacter Pylori in ulcer disease.
"With this new format, we wanted to create an informal conversation with some
of the great names in scientific research - many of whom are Nobel prize
winners - and be able to explore some aspects of the personal lives of
individuals who, through their studies and determination, have had a major
impact on patients' lives and who might even inspire others to pursue a career
in the Life Sciences sector," explained Lorenzo Melani, Chairman and Scientific
Director of the Fondazione Internazionale Menarini.
