Description: (Biochemist, Educationist, University teacher)
Avram Hershko, a Hungarian-Israeli biochemist, is renowned for his pioneering research in protein degradation. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2004, jointly with Aaron Ciechanover and Irwin Rose, for their pivotal discovery of the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Hershko's work has greatly enhanced our comprehension of how cells control protein levels and eliminate damaged proteins. His contributions to biochemistry and cell biology have advanced our understanding of fundamental cellular processes crucial for life.
