The award citation highlights Dr Gallio’s work on the exchangeable heme concept and the integration of heme homeostasis into broader metabolic regulation, noting an exceptional level of intellectual ambition and independence. This research reframes fundamental questions in tetrapyrrole biology and opens new conceptual space for the field.
