Ann Tsukamoto was born in California, in 1952. She attended University of California San Diego, where she earned her undergraduate degree. Tsukamoto then enrolled in University of California Los Angeles, where she earned her Ph. D in immunology and macrobiology.
She moved to University of California, San Francisco, where she worked with the WNT-1 gene, and helped Harold Varmus to create a transgenic model for breast cancer for her postdoctoral studies.
In the early 1990s, she was part of the group of scientists that discovered the human hematopoietic stem cell (blood stem cell).[3] Learning how to isolate stem cells was key to cancer research; while transplanting blood stem cells can replace damaged cells created by cancers such as leukemia.

L. L. Zamenhof[a] (15 December 1859 – 14 April 1917) was an ophthalmologist who lived for most of his life in Warsaw. He is best known as the creator of Esperanto, the most widely used constructed international auxiliary language.
Zamenhof first developed the language in 1873 while still in school. He grew up fascinated by the idea of a world without war. He believed that this could happen with the help of a new international auxiliary language. The language would be a tool to gather people together through neutral, fair, equitable communication. He successfully formed a community that continues today despite the World Wars of the 20th century. Also, it has developed like other languages, through the interaction and creativity of its users.
In light of his achievements, and his support of intercultural dialogue, UNESCO selected Zamenhof as one of its eminent personalities of 2017, on the 100th anniversary of his death.
