H. Robert Horvitz

Howard Robert Horvitz is an American biologist known for his research work on the Caenorhabditiselegansworm. Horvitz received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2002 together with Sydney Brenner and Sir John Sulston. He also received the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize fromColumbia University and March of Dimes Prize in Developmental Biology both inthe year 2000.

In 1970s, while studying cell death (apoptosis), Howard Robert Horvitz showed that in many cases cell death is not caused by injury or a disease but the cell itself follows an endogenous process which causes cell death. Horvitz showed that cell death is triggered by normal and healthy cells and is a normal process which is adopted for the removal of unnecessary and/or damaged cells.
