Rothman, whose work has led to a better understanding of transmission of signals between brain cells and mechanisms of hormone release into the bloodstream, has devoted most of his career to elucidating the methods by which proteins are transported within cells. Over the course of his investigations, which began while he was at Stanford University in the late 1970s, he has studied all the stages involved in the process. He proposed a single underlying ...
