And the 2024 Nobel prize for medicine goes to… Americans Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for microRNA discovery; that started with a 1mm roundworm
The Nobel assembly said in a statement that the laureates discovered the new class of tiny RNA molecules, which play a crucial role in gene regulation. Thomas Perlmann, secretary of the Nobel committee for physiology, said he had reached Ruvkun by phone, waking him up early in the U.S. morning, but he was eventually happy and “very enthusiastic”. He had not yet reached Ambros, he said.
In the late 1980s, Ambros and Ruvkun undertook postdoctorate studies in the laboratory of Robert Horvitz, himself a Nobel Prize winner in 2002, studying a 1 mm long roundworm.
