Avram Hershko
Premio Wolf per la medicina 2001
Premio Nobel per la chimica 2004

Avram Hershko (in ebraico: אברהם הרשקו; Karcag, 31 dicembre 1937) è un biochimico e biologo ungherese naturalizzato israeliano.

Carriera[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

Emigrò in Israele nel 1950. Ricevette il dottorato in medicina nel 1965 e il suo Ph.D. nel 1969 dalla Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School, a Gerusalemme. Attualmente è un Professore Emerito alla facoltà di medicina al Technion di Haifa.

Nel 2000 ha ricevuto l'Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research. Insieme ad Aaron Ciechanover e Irwin Rose, gli è stato conferito il Premio Nobel per la chimica 2004 per la scoperta della degradazione delle proteine ubiquitina-dipendente^[1]. Il ciclo del proteasoma ubiquitina gioca un ruolo chiave nel mantenimento dell'omeostasi delle cellule e si pensa sia coinvolto nello sviluppo e nell'avanzamento di malattie come: tumori, malattie muscolari e neurologiche, risposte immunitarie ed infiammatorie.
