According to Mehr reporter, Sweden’s Karolinska Institute announced “Victor Ambrose” and “Gary Rovken” as the winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine.
They won the award for their discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
miRNA are a new class of small RNA molecules that play an important role in gene regulation. The revolutionary discovery of these two researchers in the small worm C, elegans revealed completely new principles in gene regulation. Their research has important implications for multicellular organisms, including humans.
MicroRNAs play a very important role in the evolution and functioning of organisms.
Victor Ambrose was born in 1953 in Hampshire and is an American biologist who is famous for the discovery of microRNA (miRNA). He is a professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
Gary Bruce Rowken was born in 1952 in Berkeley, California. He is a molecular biologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School in Boston, USA.
