2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine: The Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for the year 2024 has been awarded to scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

MicroRNA is a fundamental principle governing how gene activity is regulated.

Announcing the decision to honour Ambros and Ruvkun, the Nobel Assembly said that their discovery is “proving to be fundamentally important for how organisms develop and function.”

The winners for medicine, chosen by the Nobel Assembly of Sweden’s Karolinska Institute medical university, receive a sum of 11 million Swedish crowns ($1.1 million).

Like every year, the prize for Medicine is the first to be announced, with other five Nobel categories set to be revealed over the coming days.
