He built on Brenner's establishment of Caenorhabditis elegans, a nematode, as a model organism for genetics research and Sulston's discovery of programmed cell death. Horvitz's contribution was the discovery and characterization of key genes governing cell death, including two that are prerequisites for cell death, another that protects against cell death, and still others that direct elimination of dead cells. He also showed that most genes involved in controlling cell death in C. elegans have human counterparts. The improved understanding of cell death brought about by Horvitz's work has important implications for disease control and treatment.
