Yale University professor James Rothman and two other researchers have won a Nobel Prize for their research on the transport system of cells, according to the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet.
Rothman, Randy W. Schekman and German-born researcher Thomas C. Sudhof jointly won the prize in the physiology or medicine category.
Rothman conducted his research at the University of California at Berkeley with Schekman starting in the late 1970s.
The work of the three Nobel Laureates has revealed the precise control system for the transport and delivery of cellular cargo, according to Nobel judges.
