Scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun have been awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their groundbreaking discovery of microRNA and its role in gene regulation, according to an announcement by the Nobel Assembly on Monday.

The Karolinska Institute’s Nobel Assembly revealed that Ambros and Ruvkun identified microRNAs, a novel class of tiny RNA molecules, which are crucial for regulating genes. Their work uncovered a new principle in gene regulation, essential for the functioning of multicellular organisms, including humans.

The medicine prize, traditionally the first among the Nobel categories, is widely recognized as one of the most prestigious honors in science, literature, and humanitarian work. This year, the laureates will receive 11 million Swedish crowns (around $1.1 million), with the remaining Nobel Prize winners to be announced in the coming days.

Established in 1901 based on the will of Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel, the Nobel Prizes honor outstanding achievements in various fields such as science, literature, and peace. A later addition was the economics prize. Most of the awards are presented in Stockholm, with the exception of the Peace Prize, which is given in Oslo, a tradition stemming from the political union between Sweden and Norway during Nobel’s lifetime.

Notable past recipients of the Nobel Prize in Medicine include Ivan Pavlov, famous for his behavioral experiments with dogs, and Alexander Fleming, co-recipient of the 1945 prize for his role in discovering penicillin. In 2023, the prize was awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their research that led to the development of mRNA technology used in COVID-19 vaccines.
