Dr. Randy Schekman

Dr. Randy Schekman is a distinguished scientist known for discovering how cells package and transport proteins. His research revealed the role of tiny structures called vesicles, which act like delivery trucks, ensuring proteins reach their correct destinations inside the cell. This work helps us understand fundamental biological processes and has implications for diseases involving cellular transport. Schekman received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2013 for his contributions to cell biology. His findings advance our knowledge of cell function and have potential impacts on developing medical treatments.
