What were the characters that inspired the career of the Nobel laureates, what were the difficulties encountered and how were they overcome? IS a journey into the life of the great names in science what everyone can do thanks to ‘Dialogs Beyond Borders‘, the new section of the Menarini International Foundation websitewhich hosts interviews with the likes of Louis Ignarro, Donna Strickland and Barry Marshall.
“My father was originally from Torre del Greco and my mother from Panarea, they met in the United States before the Second World War: my English was initially poor and, as you can imagine, my parents couldn’t support me much in writing and writing. to read. But luckily I’ve always been very curious, from an early age. Mine was a real American success story, “he told ‘Dialogs Beyond Borders’. Louis Ignarro, Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine ‘for his contribution to discovering the implications of the nitrogen monoxide molecule in the cardiovascular system’.
Among the big names hosted in the ‘Beyond Borders’ Gallery there is also that of Donna Strickland, Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018 for “revolutionary inventions in the field of laser physics” and that of Tasuko Honjo, Nobel Prize of Medicine in 2018 for research on how to use the weapons of the immune system to block the advance of cancer: his studies on immunotherapy, conducted together with colleague James Allison, are considered a milestone in the fight against cancer. One click is enough to know the history of Barry Marshall, Nobel Prize of Medicine in 2005, thanks to the discovery of the involvement of the role of Helicobacter Pylori in ulcer.
“With the new format we decided to conduct an informal conversation with many big names in research, many of them Nobel laureates, to explore personal aspects of the life of individuals who, with their studies and their determination, have had a great impact on the lives of patientsie that could inspire other people to enthusiastically pursue careers in the life sciences industry, “he explains Lorenzo Melani, president and scientific director of the Menarini International Foundation.
