SHREWSBURY Robert Z. Nemeth profiles Shrewsbury's Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Craig Mello in the Telegram & Gazette of Worcester today. Here's the beginning of his column: He was a bit late for an interview because he had to rush home to Shrewsbury to deal with a small family emergency. The Christmas tree fell over, and he was summoned to put it up again. “It was a mess,” he told me in his small, cramped office at Biotech 2 as he was getting ready to leave for Stockholm to accept the Nobel Prize, with a detour to the White House to be congratulated by the president of the United States. He did not seem like a man who just put the UMass Medical School in Worcester on the global map of biomedical science. Craig C. Mello, 45, professor of molecular medicine, and recipient of some of the most prestigious honors in his profession, including the 2006 Nobel Prize in medicine, is as unpretentious as his rural upbringing.
