The Laureates and their Work

July 6th, 2010

During the period 1901-2000 a total of 172 scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Their contributions range from basic to clinical research. The following is a compilation which gives an indication of the nature of the discoveries for which scientists were awarded Nobel Prizes. The prize motivations indicated are not verbatim the official ones but have been shortened to improve readability and overview (comments in parentheses are not part of the official prize sentence). The different prizes have been organized under different headings, but it should be pointed out that one discovery may fit under more than one heading.
