merican 50 - the magazine's prestigious annual list recognizing outstanding acts of leadership in science and technology - for providing insight into how novel influenza viruses spread.

"Dr. Webster is considered the godfather of influenza research. Over the last several decades, he has directly contributed to most of the major discoveries made on the biology and molecular epidemiology of influenza," said St. Jude Scientific Director James Downing, M.D. "In addition, he has served as a mentor to many of the leading investigators in the field today."

The Royal Society's members are some of the most eminent scientists of the day, including more than 60 Nobel laureates. Throughout its history, the organization has promoted excellence in science through its Fellowship and Foreign Membership, which has included Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Ernest Rutherford, Albert Einstein, Dorothy Hodgkin, Francis Crick, James Watson and Stephen Hawking.
