Alumnus Wins Top Medical Research Prize
Every scientist, since 1992, who has won the Nobel Prize for Medicine, has also won the Lasker Award. The jury of international scientists singled out Jensen for his research during the 1950s and 1960s at the University of Chicago, which led to the discovery of the estrogen receptor, vital in the understanding of steroid hormone action and the effective use of hormone therapies for breast cancer treatment. Jensen shares the honor with Pierre Chambon of the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology in Strasbourg, France, and Ronald Evans of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, Calif., and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
