Passion and dedication lead to Nobel in Medicine for Südhof
Thomas Südhof was driving through the middle of Spain when he received the phone call notifying him that he had been awarded one of the most prestigious honors in his field, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
“I didn’t expect it,” said Südhof, a professor of molecular and cellular physiology at the Stanford School of medicin. “There are so many people who deserve a Nobel Prize. There’s no reason to suspect that you’re going to get it.”
As unexpected as it was, Südhof’s wife Lu Chen already knew about the award —earlier that morning, she had been the first to hear the news from the committee.
“I was dying to tell him myself, but cell phones display numbers.

Professor of Neurosurgery and of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWhat distinguishes us humans from other animals is our ability to undergo complex behavior. The synapses are the structural connection between neurons that mediates the communication between neurons, which underlies our various cognitive function. My research program aims to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie synapse function during behavior in the developing and mature brain, and how synapse function is altered during mental retardation.
