He's the one who had discovered p53 gene which is responsible in Cell Death pathway or Apoptosis. And ya.. He's also the few that made us memorise all those stupid gene names during our uni years. But out of all the genes, p53 is the most famous gene which if being supressed by mutation will eventually caused cancer.

p53 is also known as Tumour Supressor gene. It allows "spoilt" cells to undergo cell death in order to benefit the rest of the cells a.k.a sacrifice oneself for the better of the rest of the community. If p53 was to be supressed by mutation or not able to conduct cell death, "bad" cells will accumulate and forever growing to form tumour and evenually cancer.
