Nobel Prize week kicks off with medicine announcement
The 2025 Nobel Prize season begins on Monday with the announcement of the winner in the Physiology or Medicine category.
The Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm is set to reveal, not earlier than 11:30 am (0930 GMT), who will receive the prestigious award.
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine would be awarded to a single researcher or shared among two or three scientists who have worked in the same field.
In 2024, the honour went to U.S. researchers Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their discovery of micro-RNA and its role in gene regulation.
The Medicine or Physiology prize traditionally opens the annual week of Nobel announcements.
In the following days, winners in Physics, Chemistry, Literature, Peace and Economics will be revealed.
The Nobel prizes will be formally presented on December 10, the anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel (1833–1896), the inventor of dynamite and founder of the prizes.
This year, each award carries a cash prize of 11 million Swedish kronor ($1.1 million).
