Wiley Nobel Laureates 2011
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 2011 was jointly awarded to the late Professor Ralph M. Steinman for his discovery of the dendritic cell and its role in adaptive immunity and to Professor Bruce A. Beutler and Dr. Jules A. Hoffmann for their discoveries concerning the activation of innate immunity.
