evaluated seven outstanding candidates this year," said Albert van
der Vliet, Senior Awards Committee Chair. "After much debate, it
was agreed that Lambeth was the top nominee this year due to his pioneering work related to the discovery of the NOX homologs and
their regulators as a major achievement that has highly impacted the field."

Switzerland. His research focuses on Reactive Oxygen Species
(ROS) and their roles in cellular regulation, cancer and atherosclerosis and innate immunity. He was named "Eminent Scientist of the Year 2003" by the International Research Promotion Council. Click here to learn more about Dr. Lambeth.
