Helen Lee, a leading
Franco-Asian-English researcher, can be

Also, Robert Langer, a professor at MIT in
Boston, won the prize in the category of "non-European countries"
for its work in developing a new generation of drugs that help
in cancer therapy, which is known for stopping the
development of malignant tumors. The scientist has invented a biodegradable
plastic device that encapsulates powerful drugs that fight these
tumors and that are implanted directly into the tumor allowing its performance
at the target point.
Bernhard Gleich and Jürgen Weizenecker
of Germany were also recognized, this time in the industrial
category for their invention of a three-dimensional high precision scanner,
which allows doctors to see inside the human body by using nanoparticles of
iron oxide, and has characteristics of superparamagnetism acting with the
magnetic field of the equipment, but otherwise remain inert, and are then
eliminated naturally.
