Three members have received 2026 Shaw Prizes. Stanford Woosley has received the Shaw Prize in Astronomy alongside Ken’ichi Nomoto for their studies of stellar explosions and the origin of the elements. Zhu Chen shares the Shaw Prize in Life Science and Medicine with Anne Dejean and Hugues de Thé for the discovery of the molecular and cellular bases of acute promyelocytic leukemia and the pioneering of a synergistic targeted therapy that transformed the disease from one of the most deadly to one of the most curable cancers. Emmanuel Candès and Camillo De Lellis have won the Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences for their breakthrough contributions to the use of deep techniques from mathematical analysis to rigorously understand applied problems in information theory, signal processing and statistics on the one hand, and to the study of singularities in geometric measure theory and fluid dynamics on the other.
