January 01, 1970

Kari Kustaa Alitalo (born 21 May 1952 in Kuopio[1]) is a Finnish MD and a medical researcher. He is a foreign associated member of the National Academy of Sciences of the US.[2] He became famous for his discoveries of several receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs)[3][4][5] and the first growth factor capable of inducing lymphangiogenesis: vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C).[6] In the years 1996–2007 he was Europe's second most cited author in the field of cell biology.[7] Alitalo is currently serving as an Academy Professor for the Academy of Finland.[8]
