Khaberni - Americans Mary E. Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell along with Japanese Shimon Sakaguchi won the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology for the year 2025 for their discoveries related to peripheral immunity and immune tolerance.
The Nobel Prize season for 2025 kicked off on Monday with the announcement of the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, granted by the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden.
The prize may be awarded to a single winner or to several winners not exceeding three, in recognition of research achievements that are either convergent or integrated in a single field.
Last year's prize went to American scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun in recognition of their discovery of micro ribonucleic acid and its vital role in gene regulation.
The Medicine Prize traditionally opens Nobel Prize week, which continues later with the announcement of winners in the fields of physics, chemistry, literature, peace, and economics.
The award ceremony will take place on December 10th, coinciding with the anniversary of the death of dynamite inventor and prize founder Alfred Nobel (1833-1896).
This year, the value of each prize is 11 million Swedish Kronor (about 1.1 million US dollars).
