My deepest condolences to Ada Yonath’s family, friends and colleagues. Her scientific impact is extraordinary. Her pioneering work on the ribosome, recognized with the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, leaves a lasting legacy in science and modern medicine.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Ada Yonath, who died Aug. 31, aged 87. The structural biologist pioneered cryo-crystallography to map the 3D atomic structure of the ribosome, a breakthrough that earned her the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry & revolutionized modern antibiotic design.
