Thomas C. Südhof
German American neuroscientist who showed how nerve cells release their signals on time, and a Nobel laureate.
Thomas Christian Südhof, is a German-American biochemist and neuroscientist known for his research on the molecular mechanisms of synaptic transmission. He is the Avram Goldstein Professor at Stanford University and an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Südhof is known for discoveries relating to neurotransmitter release and synapse formation, including work on synaptotagmins as calcium sensors for exocytosis, the membrane fusion machinery composed of SNARE and SM proteins, active zone proteins such as Munc13 and RIMs, and trans-synaptic adhesion complexes including neurexins, neuroligins, and latrophilins.

Thomas C. Südhof is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.
