Dr. Phillip Sharp Ph.D.
Institute Professor, David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His current focus is on interference RNA and is aimed at understanding how RNA molecules act as switches to turn genes on and off. These newly discovered processes have revolutionized cell biology and could potentially generate new classes of therapeutics. Co-founder of Biogen Idec and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, he serves on the boards of both companies. He shared the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Richard J. Roberts for his work on the mechanism of RNA splicing and the molecular biology of gene expression relevant to cancer. He received a Canada Gairdner International Award in 1986.
