[contact]
LONG CITATION
Professor Charles Boone is a yeast molecular geneticist of international stature and a leader among the current generation of rising biomedical researchers in Canada. While his research centres on components of signal-transduction pathways in yeast that affect developmental functions, perhaps his most important contribution has been his most recent. He has developed an automated method of carrying out genome-wide synthetic-lethal tests involving millions of yeast genetic crosses. This method enables a simple determination of genetic, and by inference gene-product, interactions in yeast and is, in principle, applicable to other organisms. It has gained Dr Boone great international recognition, and places him among the most visible genome researchers in the world.
SHORT CITATION
Professor Charles Boone is a leading yeast molecular geneticist renowned for his pioneering research. Still early in his career, he has made enormous contributions to our understanding of signal transduction and how cells change their shape. He is leading a collaborative network of researchers who are using genomics to determine how genes interact.

Her pioneering work unearthed novel modes by which cancer cells hijack genetic information, by subverting messenger RNA (mRNA) metabolism. Her landmark studies revolutionized our view of central tenets of mRNA biology. Her atomic snapshots transformed our understanding of the mechanics of these processes. Her ground-breaking clinical studies demonstrated that these processes can be targeted in humans providing promising avenues for therapeutic development.
Ses découvertes pionnières ont mis au jour de nouveaux modes par lesquels les cellules cancéreuses détournent l'information génétique, en subvertissant le métabolisme de l'ARN messager (ARNm). Ses études marquantes ont révolutionné notre vision des principes centraux de la biologie des ARNm et transformé au niveau atomique notre compréhension de ces processus. Ses études cliniques révolutionnaires ont démontré que ces processus peuvent être ciblés chez l’humain de façon thérapeutique.
