J. Michael Bishop is Winner of the 1989 Nobel Prize in Medicine
In 1989 Michael Bishop and Harold Varmus were awarded the Nobel Prize for their
discovery that normal genes under certain conditions can cause cancer. In this book,
Bishop tells us how he and Varmus made their momentous discovery. More than a lively
account of the making of a brilliant scientist, How to Win the Nobel Prize is also
a broader narrative combining two major and intertwined strands of medical history:
the long and ongoing struggles to control infectious diseases and to find and attack
the causes of cancer
