Two distinct discoveries are recognised for the 2024 Chemistry Nobel Prize, yet as you shall see, they are closely related. We must go all the way back to the early days of modern biochemistry in order to comprehend the struggles that this year’s laureates have faced.
Nobel Prize
The discovery of a crucial regulatory mechanism that cells utilize to regulate gene activity is the main focus of this year’s Nobel Prize.
The 2023 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine was jointly awarded to Hungarian and U.S. scientists Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.
The most awaited Nobel season is here. The noble committees will get together in Stockholm and Oslo and announce the prizes in Physiology or Medicine, Physics, Chemistry, Literature, Peace, and Economics.
The announcement series will be initiated with Physiology or Medicine on October 2nd at the Karolinska Institutet in Solna, Sweden.
