The Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine was awarded to Massachusetts professors Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA.

U.S.-based scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun won the Nobel Prize for medicine and physiology on Monday for discovering microRNA molecules, which determine how genes behave.

Gary Ruvkun, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and an investigator at Massachusetts General Hospital, has received the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of microRNAs, a class of tiny RNA molecules that regulate the activities of genes in plants and animals, including humans.

U.S. scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine on Monday for the discovery of microRNA and its crucial role in how multicellular organisms grow and live.

A suit, perhaps, with a button-down shirt and tie was an option. Instead, Ambros went with less formal attire, a short-sleeved shirt plastered with images of tigers. "It's my favorite shirt,

US scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun have won the medicine Nobel Prize for discovering tiny molecules that have played a crucial role in human evolution, offering clues to how deadly diseases can be tackled.

The work by Americans Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun is “proving to be fundamentally important for how organisms develop and function,” according to a panel that awarded the prize in Stockholm.

Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine recognized Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their ground-breaking microRNA research. Here are the implication this research will have on the healthcare system.
