The prize-winning research that led to advances which are helping humans involved the careful study of small animals, especially mice and rats. Dr. Axel is continuing his work at The Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Columbia University in New York, N.Y., while Dr. Buck is now working at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Wash.Of the 83 American Nobel laureates in physiology or medicine since 1945, 64 either worked at or were funded by NIH before winning his or her prize.
