Yes, there have been a few instances where the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded posthumously. One such example is Erik Axel Karlfeldt, who was awarded the prize in 1931 after his death in 1931. Another example is Boris Pasternak, who was awarded the prize in 1958, but declined it, and it was later awarded to him posthumously in 1989.
Richard Axel won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2004 for his pioneering research on the organization and function of the olfactory system, specifically for his work in identifying the genetic basis of the sense of smell in mammals. His research provided fundamental insights into how the brain processes olfactory information, leading to a better understanding of sensory perception and behavior.

Linda B. Buck won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2004 for her pioneering work in olfactory receptors - the proteins that allow us to sense smell. She discovered the genetic basis for the sense of smell and provided insights into how our brain perceives odors.
Axel Hugo Theodor Theorell won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1955 for his discoveries concerning the nature and mode of action of oxidation enzymes. He conducted pioneering work on enzymes involved in oxidation processes within cells, shedding light on how these processes are regulated and their importance in various physiological functions.
