Are you ready for the exciting announcement we have for you? The answer is YES!

This year, in the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences Laureate we will have the pleasure of having Professor Pascal Mayer with us!

Professor Pascal is a pioneering figure in DNA analysis and drug development, with a PhD in macromolecular biophysics from the University of Strasbourg. He conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Ottawa and CNRS’s Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal, where he propelled DNA sequencing and separation techniques to new heights.

In 1996, Professor Pascal joined Glaxo-Wellcome’s research Center, where he initiated his founding work on DNA sequencing on self-forming DNA colonies, laying the groundwork for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).

The impact of Professor Mayer's discovery cannot be overstated. NGS has transformed genomics, biology, and medicine, enabling unprecedented speed and cost efficiency in genetic analysis. Beyond revolutionizing traditional methods, NGS drives advances in personalized medicine and accelerates the discovery of genetic markers, shaping the future of healthcare and scientific innovation.
