Kari Alitalo

Kari Kustaa Alitalo (born 21 May 1952 in Kuopio^[1]) is a Finnish MD and a medical researcher. He is a foreign associated member of the National Academy of Sciences of the US.^[2] He became famous for his discoveries of several receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs)^[3]^[4]^[5] and the first growth factor capable of inducing lymphangiogenesis: vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C).^[6] In the years 1996–2007 he was Europe's second most cited author in the field of cell biology.^[7] Alitalo is currently serving as an Academy Professor for the Academy of Finland.^[8]

Alitalo received the Leopold Griffuel Prize in 2002^[9] and the 2006 Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine.^[10] He also received the 2005 Eric Fernström Foundation's Nordic Prize^[11] and the 2009 In-Bev Baillet Latour Health Prize.^[12] In 2014, he received the Dr. A.H.Heineken Prize for Medicine.
