MIT MAN WINS NOBEL

Author: By James Stack, Globe Staff
Date: Sunday, October 18, 1987

Section: METRO

Massachusetts Institute of Technology biologist Susumu Tonegawa of Newton was awarded the 1987 Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine for his revolutionary work on understanding the body's immune system. The Nobel jurors said Tonegawa wrote an influential paper in 1976 resolving questions about how the body fights disease, and that his work had dominated research in the area for two years. Tonegawa, still boyish-looking at 48, is the seventh member of the MIT faculty -- and the fourth member of its biology department -- to win a Nobel.
