DESCRIPTION:Michael N. Hall received his Ph.D. from Harvard University and
  was a postdoctoral fellow at the Pasteur Institute (Paris\, France) and t
 he University of California\, San Francisco.  He joined the Biozentrum of 
 the University of Basel (Switzerland) in 1987 where he is currently Profes
 sor and former Chair of Biochemistry.  Hall is a pioneer in the fields of 
 TOR signaling and cell growth control.  In 1991\, Hall and colleagues disc
 overed TOR (Target of Rapamycin) and subsequently elucidated its role as a
  central controller of cell growth and metabolism.  The discovery of TOR l
 ed to a fundamental change in how one thinks of cell growth.  It is not a 
 spontaneous process that just happens when building blocks (nutrients) are
  available\, but rather a highly regulated\, plastic process controlled by
  TOR-dependent signaling pathways.  As a central controller of cell growth
  and metabolism\, TOR plays a key role in development\, aging\, and diseas
 e.  Hall is a member of the US National Academy of Sciences and has receiv
 ed numerous awards\, including the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences (20
 14) and the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research (2017).    \n\n
