The three scientists were awarded for their discoveries of "principles for introducing specific gene modifications in mice by the use of embryonic stem cells", writes the prize-award Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, on the website Nobelprize.org. They have made a series of ground-breaking discoveries concerning embryonic stem cells and DNA recombination in mammals. Their discoveries led to the creation of an immensely powerful technology referred to as gene targeting in mice. It is now being applied to virtually all areas of biomedicine – from basic research to the development of new therapies.
