TitleChalfie, Martin: certificate of election to the Royal Society
Date9 May 2018
DescriptionCertificate endorsing election of Martin Chalfie as a Foreign Member of the Royal Society, including personal details of the elected Foreign Member and citing the reasons for election and names of proposers. Signed off by the Executive Director of the Royal Society, Julie Maxton.
CitationMartin Chalfie is celebrated for developing Green Fluorescent Protein as a universal biomarker, for which he shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2008, but that achievement forms only part of his extensive contributions to cell and developmental biology, neurobiology and methodology. Most of these have come from his 40-year-long studies of mechanosensory neurons in the nematode C. elegans, which have generated many major discoveries in neuronal specification and differentiation, neurodegeneration, microtubule structure and function, mechanosensory transduction and its modulation, connectomics, neuronal outgrowth, and currently determinants of neuronal circuitry, neuronal ensheathment and developmental robustness. He remains extraordinarily productive and creative.
