I so want it to be Don Metcalf for Medicine. Don spent decades injecting eggs to culture in order to isolate colony stimulating factor, as a result of which literally tens of millions of cancer patients are alive after being "rescued" from lethal doses of radiotherapy by having their white blood stem cells reintroduced after using CSF to harvest them for storage during treatment. One of the first beneficiaries was Three Tenors' José Carreras, who had leukemia.
Don has received almost every prize and honour there is for his work, except the Nobel. I worked at his institute, The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (which is where Macfarlane Burnet worked and was director) and got to know his dry wit rather well.
