Hershko won the 2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for work that reshaped how we understand the cell's waste-disposal system — the mechanism that marks proteins for destruction and keeps everything else alive.
About
Born in Hungary on December 31, 1937, Hershko eventually settled in Israel and built a career in biochemistry that converged on a single elegant question: how does a cell know which proteins to throw away? The answer — a tagging system that earned him the Nobel in 2004 — revealed molecular machinery so fundamental that nearly every process in the body depends on it.
