Benjamin Cravatt is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Pioneer of activity-based protein profiling in chemical biology; Wolf Prize in Chemistry (2022)
Cravatt, a chemical biologist at Scripps Research, pioneered activity-based protein profiling (ABPP), a chemical-probe strategy that reads out the functional state of thousands of enzymes across a whole proteome and has become a standard tool for drug discovery; he received the 2022 Wolf Prize in Chemistry. His discovery of the enzyme FAAH also opened new approaches to pain and inflammation. No Jewish ancestry is documented in his published biographies.
