British biologist Sir John Sulston's pioneering research on the development of cells within tiny nematode worms paved the way for new understandings of how cancers emerge.
Where others had failed, he charted how the cells of the worm divided and matured, and showed that certain cells’ deaths were a part of the organism’s normal development. He also discovered the first mutation in a gene that is active in the cell-death process. In 2002, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discoveries.
