Howard Robert Horvitz is an American biologist whose research on the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans was awarded the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, together with Sydney Brenner and John E. Sulston, for discoveries concerning the genetic regulation of organ development and programmed cell death.
