Michael Perryman for their contributions to astrometry.

The Mathematical Science Prize was awarded equally to Noga.

Aaron (Noga Alon) and Ehud.

Ehud Hrushovski for their extraordinary contributions to discrete mathematics and model theory.


In terms of life science and medicine award, this year's winner is Paul.

Negulescu (Paul A Negulescu) and Michael.

Welsh (Michael J Welsh), who discovered that the genetic disease cystic fibrosis is caused by molecular, biochemical and functional defects, and identified and developed new drugs to repair these defects, and won the award.


The 2022 Shaw Prize held an online press conference today to announce the winners of the three awards.

In terms of astronomy prize, the winner is Lennart R. Emeritus, professor emeritus of Lund Observatory, Department of Astronomy and Theoretical Physics, Lund University, Sweden.

Wales.

The Congress points out that cystic fibrosis is a very common and severe monogenic disorder affecting more than 80,000 people worldwide.

The duo discovered that cystic fibrosis is caused by molecular, biochemical and functional defects, and identified and developed new drugs to repair these defects, thus enabling the treatment of most patients.

The Mathematical Science Prize is awarded by Noga.

Aron, and Ehud Ehud, Merton Chair Professor of Mathematical Logic at the University of Oxford, UK.

Khrusovsky won.

The congress said the awards were in recognition of the duo's extraordinary contributions to discrete mathematics and model theory, especially their interplay with algebraic geometry, topology and computer science.

The Shaw Prize has three awards, namely astronomy, life sciences and medicine, and mathematical sciences.

Awarded once a year, each prize of 1.2 million US dollars.
