Life Science 50
2010
The Irish Life Science 50 is a celebration of Irish Americans in the Life Science industry.
The list comprises of Americans of Irish heritage from every aspect of the life sciences industry; from research scientists, to CEOs of medical device companies, pharmaceutical companies, professors, and venture capitalists.
All of our Honorees have two things in common - pride in their Irish heritage and a desire to contribute to advances in the treatment of illnesses.
A list of distinguished Irish Americans in life sciences would not be complete without a nod to James D. Watson, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, undoubtedly one of the greatest achievements of science in the 20th century.
Watson's grandmother was born in America to a couple from Tipperary, showing that Irish roots are a strong part of one of the best-known scientists in the world.
Irish President Mary McAleese was the distinguished guest of honor at The Ceremony honoring the Irish Life Science 50 on Thursday, May 20, 2010. The event was held in The Irish Consulate in New York City.
