Ever since she was a girl, Ada Yonath has set herself seemingly impossible goals, and then figured out how to reach them, step by step. As a young scientist she took on a challenge that others considered hopeless – mapping the structure of the ribosome – and persevered for decades until she succeeded.
Prof. Yonath is the Martin S. and Helen Kimmel Professor of Structural Biology. Ada Yonath's research is supported by the Helen and Milton A. Kimmelman Center for Biomolecular Structure and Assembly.
Ada E. Yonath. Israeli citizen. Born in 1939 in Jerusalem, Israel. Professor Yonath gained a BSc in chemistry (1962) and an MSc in biochemistry (1964) from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel, and a PhD in X-ray crystallography in 1968 from the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel.
Professor Ada Yonath ForMemRS. Ada Yonath focuses on genetic code translation by ribosomes, on antibiotics paralyzing this process, on designing novel eco-friendly antibiotics for fighting resistance, on ribosomopathies and on origin of life.
Prof. Ada Yonath was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for having described the structure of the ribosome, the body which produces protein in the cell. She received the prize along with her scientific colleagues, Venkatraman Ramakrishnan and Thomas A. Steitz.
