This time for the discovery of Green Fluorescent Protein or GFP–used now ubiquitously in all fields of biosciences:

Japan’s Osamu Shimomura and Americans Martin Chalfie and Roger Tsien shared the prize for their research on green fluorescent protein, or GFP, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said.

And where does Shimomura work?

Shimomura, born in 1928, works at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and the Boston University Medical School.

Congrats to Director Gary Borisy and all the good folks at the MBL!
