Stuart Schreiber

Stuart Schreiber is one of those quietly colossal figures whose work touches far more lives than his name recognition suggests. A Harvard professor and co-founder of the Broad Institute, he helped build chemical biology, using small molecules to interrogate the inner workings of cells, into a discipline. The Wolf Prize and the Arthur C. Cope Award only hint at how much of modern drug discovery rests on foundations he laid. I have a soft spot for the behind-the-scenes geniuses who advance human health without courting the spotlight, and Schreiber is exactly that. His career is a reminder that some of the biggest leaps come from patient, fundamental science.
