Stanley B. Prusiner (b. 1942) is an American neurologist and biochemist who won the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of prions. Prusiner wrote to set a date for Sokoloff's visit to UCSF; he mentioned several topics he could give talks on, and noted that much of the week would be free to tour the wine country.
