Craig Cameron Mello is a professor of molecular medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The research for which he shared the Nobel Prize with Andrew Z. Fire was conducted at the Carnegie Institution of Washington and published in 1998. In justifying the award, the Karolinska Institute emphasized that "this year's Nobel laureates have discovered a fundamental mechanism for controlling the flow of genetic information."
