| Social/Economic Well-Being | Individual/Humanity Well-Being | World Environmental Well-Being | Technical Achievement: The Development and Promotion of DNA Microarrays The prize is awarded jointly to Patrick O. Brown and Stephen P. A. Fodor. Patrick O. Brown (Stanford University and Howard Hughes Medical Institute) is honored for the development of DNA microarrays with pre-synthesized DNA probes and the promotion of the technology by releasing the production methods on the Internet. Stephen P. A. Fodor (Affymetrix Inc.) is honored for the development of high-density DNA microarrays using photolithographic fabrication, and the promotion of the technology by commercialization of the GeneChip® array.
