From October 6th to 13th, the Nobel Prizes for 2025 will be announced successively. This annual announcement period marks a significant moment in the global scientific community, highlighting advancements across various fields.
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was established according to the will of the late Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel, with the purpose of recognizing individuals who have made outstanding discoveries in the fields of physiology or medicine. This prize has historically celebrated discoveries that have fundamentally altered our understanding of life and disease, leading to significant improvements in human health.
The award was first presented in 1901 and is judged by the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. In October 2015, Chinese pharmaceutical scientist Tu Youyou was awarded this prestigious prize for her discovery of artemisinin, a drug that has been highly effective in reducing the mortality rate of malaria patients. This achievement underscored the global impact of Chinese scientific research and its contribution to global public health efforts.
