Sir John Edward Sulston CH FRS MAE (27 March 1942 – 6 March 2018[12][13]) was a British biologist and academic who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on the cell lineage and genome of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans in 2002 with his colleagues Sydney Brenner and Robert Horvitz at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology.[14] He was a leader in human genome research and Chair of the Institute for Science, Ethics and Innovation at the University of Manchester.[15][16][17] Sulston was in favour of science in the public interest, such as free public access of scientific information and against the patenting of genes and the privatisation of genetic technologies.[18]
