Martin J. Evans, Ph.D., FRS, Professor of Mammalian Genetics, Cambridge University, England, for the development of innovative techniques to identify and grow the embryonic stem cells in mice in vitro and to introduce specific mutations into these cells. This groundbreaking work provided numerous insights into early mammalian development, and made it possible to create "knockout" and transgenic animals to reveal the roles of specific genes and to study specific birth defects and diseases.

Richard L. Gardner, Ph.D., FRS, Henry Dale Professor of the Royal Society, Department of Zoology, Oxford University, England for being the first to introduce specific mutations into the embryonic stem cells of mice. His innovative micro-surgical techniques provided numerous insights into early mammalian development, and made it possible to create "knockout" and transgenic animals to reveal the roles of specific genes and to study specific birth defects and diseases. His work on removing cells from the early-stage embryo of the mouse laid the foundations for today’s pre-implantation diagnostic tests.
