Published Date: 11 June 2008
THE creators of Dolly the Sheep have been awarded a million- dollar prize.
Scientists Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell were awarded the life science and medical Shaw Prize, which they will share with Japanese professor Shinya Yamanaka for their work in stem cell research. The pair created the first-ever cloned animal at the Roslin Institute in Midlothian.

Sir Ian said: "I am delighted and very pleased to receive this award. This is particularly so because it is shared with Keith Campbell and Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University. It is also important to remember that we were supported by a large team.

"Finally, I think the prize recognises that the development of methods for "reprogramming" of cells is creating revolutionary methods for the study and treatment of human diseases."

The Shaw prize is an international award to honour individuals who are currently active in their fields.

I heard that they have just unravelled the DNA of the $1m and are cloning it as we speak. They reckon they will have $700m by the end of the week.
