LONG CITATION
Professor Philip Hieter is a world-renowned leader in the study of cell division, chromosome biology, and yeast genetics. He is internationally recognized for his work on structural and regulatory proteins that ensure faithful segregation of chromosomes during cell division. His work has also demonstrated and advocated the utility of researching fundamental questions in model experimental organisms and has created a systematic cross-reference of yeast genetics and human biology. His work has had a profound impact on understanding the molecular mechanisms of cell division and in translating this knowledge to normal human biology and human disease.

SHORT CITATION
Professor Philip Hieter is a world leader in the study of chromosome dynamics and cell division. His work has shown how chromosomes are accurately transmitted from one generation to another. The results of his work have a profound impact upon our understanding of molecular mechanisms of cell division, and its consequences in normal human biology and human disease.
