New York Times:

A pioneering gene researcher and the discoverers of a powerful therapy for autoimmune disorders are the winners of the 2003 Lasker awards for medical research. And Christopher Reeve, the actor whose struggle against paralysis has given new hope to patients with severe spinal injuries, has won the Lasker public service award. The awards are being announced today by the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation.

Dr. Robert G. Roeder of Rockefeller University in New York City won the basic medical research award for his studies over the last 30 years into how genes are switched on and off in cells, a process called transcription. ...

Dr. Marc Feldmann and Sir Ravinder N. Maini of the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology in London won the clinical medical research award for a discovery that led to development of powerful drugs that can soothe joint pain and restore mobility among people with rheumatoid arthritis. The therapy, known as anti-T.N.F., for tumor necrosis factor, has also benefited people with other autoimmune disorders, like the bowel ailment Crohn's disease and a form of arthritis caused by psoriasis.
