Wait a minute what is this supposed to mean. The year 2010? Is this an anticipatory award or are we now fast forwarded in time to a year that hasn't arrived? Moreso, the material upon which this based the spammed BBC news is post-dated as October 8th, 2010. Is this futuristic imagining? I do hope that this forum is not now reduced to some predatory ensemble of spammers, whose codifications of myths are ordered into pieces of pseudo-episteme and screwed assemblage in mythological and false renditions. Can you please give more meaning to this posting, I would be interested, and I am sure others too, to know what this all entails for we now know who the Nobel prize winners for 2009 are, and so this is surely interesting. Maybe, we need not rush to post all and every thrashy items that may render the integrity of this forum
questionable.
Saliu Adagboyin, a Nigerian scientist, has been awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in medicine. She gets the prize for her work in gene splicing.
Adagboyin has been able to work out the sequences involved in genetic mutation as well as develop methods of slowing down, or, in some cases, reversing the effects of genetic mutation that leads to cancerous growths.
This method works through the splicing of the cancerous cells and the grafting of synthetic cell matter onto the spliced cells so as to facilitate the growth of healthy cells.
Her research has spanned 10 years in which she has worked at both the International Centre forGenetic Engineering and Biotechnology, ICGEB t Ibadan, Nigeria and the Department of Pathology atthe University of Ghana.
