Winners unlock big questions on cells

 
Dr. James E. Darnell Jr. and Robert G. Roeder, Ph.D., both of whom work at Rockefeller University in New York City, will receive the [Albany Medical Center] prize during a May 11 ceremony in Albany. The $500,000 prize is the largest award in medicine and science in the United States.
