The EMET Prize is awarded to Prof. Yosef Shiloh for his achievements in the research of cellular responses to DNA damage and the molecular basis of the human genetic disorder Ataxia-Telangiectasia. This research has revolutionized our understanding of the DNA damage response and has revealed new avenues to understanding the functional links between the DNA damage response and cancer formation.

The EMET Prize is awarded to Professor Zvi Selinger

For his groundbreaking studies in cell signaling, which provided the framework for understanding the molecular basis of how signal flows through the G proteins switch.

His discoveries yielded major insights into the action of cell receptors and their ability to serve as targets for therapeutic drugs.
