Hunt, Helen
Born June 15, 1963 in Culver City, California. American actress. Full name Helen Elizabeth Hunt. Influenced by her father, a director and theater instructor, Hunt began acting. She made her debut on The Mary Tyler Moore Show at the age of nine. She won four Golden Globe Awards (1994, 1995, 1997, 1998) and three Emmy Awards (1996, 1997, 1998) for her work on Mad About You (1992-99), and also produced and directed several episodes. Her film debut was in Rollercoaster (1977), but her subsequent roles were not very successful. Her turning point came in Twister (1996), which was a huge hit. In the romantic comedy As Good as It Gets (1997) in which she co-starred with Jack Nicholson, she charmed audiences with her warm and humorous performance, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress, as well as the Golden Globe Award and the Screen Actors Guild Award. After playing Viola in William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, she starred in Cast Away in 2000. In 2007, she made her directorial debut with Then She Found Me, in which she also wrote and produced the film.

Hunt, R. Timothy

Born: February 19, 1943, England. British molecular biologist. Graduated from Cambridge University in 1964, and received his doctorate there in 1968. After graduating from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the United States and Cambridge University, he joined the Imperial Cancer Research Foundation in 1990, and became its principal investigator the following year. He has elucidated cell division, the most fundamental phenomenon in living organisms, from the perspective of molecular biology. In experiments using sea urchins, he closely examined what proteins increase and decrease as the cell division process progresses, and found a protein whose increase and decrease is in perfect sync with the cell division cycle, which he named cyclin. Cyclin binds to proteins that control the cell cycle and phosphorylates them, steering the division, so to speak. He discovered that this protein, called cyclin-dependent kinase CDK, is the most important substance that controls the cell cycle. His research on cyclins is the most essential aspect of research on infinitely proliferating cancer cells, and has had a major impact on subsequent research. In 2001, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine along with PM Nurse and LH Hartwell for their discovery of the cell cycle control mechanism.

Born October 31, 1827 in Brattleboro, Vermont
Died: July 31, 1895. Newport, Rhode Island. American architect. In 1843, he was the first American to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Returning to the United States in 1855, he worked to introduce the traditions of French academicism into America and was instrumental in the founding of the American Institute of Architects. He became president in 1888 and became a representative of American classical architecture in the late 19th century. The Tribune Building (1873-76) in New York was the first high-rise building equipped with elevators. The Stuyvesant Flats (1869-70) were an early example of the Parisian-style apartment architecture that became popular in the late 1880s. Other notable works include the Lenox Library (1870-77), the George W. Vanderbilt House (1888-95, Biltmore), the Breakers (1892-95, Newport), and the facade of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (1894-1902). (→American Architecture)

[Died] September 7, 1910, London. British painter, one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. He entered the Royal Academy in 1843 and rebelled against the academicism of the time with fellow student J. Millet. He traveled to Syria and Palestine in 1854, 1869, and 1873, and painted biblical subjects with faithful detail. He followed the beliefs of the Pre-Raphaelites throughout his life. His major works include The Light of the World (1854, Cable College, Oxford) and May Morning at Magdalene Tower (1889). His book Pre-Raphaelitism and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (1905) is semi-autobiographical, but is a fundamental document of the movement.

イギリスの分子生物学者。 1964年ケンブリッジ大学卒業,同大学で 68年博士号取得。アメリカのアルバート・アインシュタイン医科大学,ケンブリッジ大学を経て,90年にインペリアル癌研究基金に入り,翌年主任研究員。細胞分裂という生物の最も基礎となる現象を分子生物学的に解明した。ウニを使った実験で,細胞の分裂プロセスが進むにつれどのような蛋白質が増減するかを詳しく調べるうちに,細胞の分裂周期とぴったり合って増減しているものを見つけ,サイクリンと名づけた。サイクリンは細胞周期を制御する蛋白質と結合してリン酸化の働きを持たせることで,いわば分裂の舵取りをする。こういうサイクリン依存性リン酸化酵素 CDKという蛋白質は,細胞周期を制御する最重要物質であることを突止めた。サイクリンの研究は,無限増殖する癌細胞の研究の最も本質的なところであり,その後の研究に大きな影響を与えた。 2001年細胞周期の制御機構の発見で,P.M.ナース,L.H.ハートウェルとともにノーベル生理学・医学賞を受賞。
