Nobel Prize

Robert Koch received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1905 for his work on tuberculosis. He discovered the tuberculosis bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and developed diagnostic criteria for the disease.

Marie Curie is the only person to have received Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields: one in Physics and one in Chemistry. She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 for her groundbreaking work on radioactivity.

Earl Sutherland received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1971 for his discovery of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and its role as a "second messenger" in cell signaling, which revolutionized our understanding of how cells communicate with each other. His research laid the foundation for the field of signal transduction and its importance in regulating various physiological processes in the body.

James Watson and Francis Crick were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962 for establishing the structure of DNA, specifically its double helix structure. Their work laid the foundation for understanding the genetic code and revolutionized the field of genetics.

When the Nobel Prize was awarded, she had already died of cancer, and the Nobel Prize is not awarded posthumously.

No, Rosalind Franklin did not receive a Nobel Prize for her work on DNA structure. The Nobel Prize for the discovery of the DNA double helix structure was awarded to James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins in 1962. Franklin's contributions to this discovery were not acknowledged at the time.

Paul Ehrlich won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1908 for his contributions to immunology. He is known for his research on the immune system, specifically for developing the concept of immunity related to the immune-antibody reaction. His work laid the foundation for understanding how the immune system defends the body against pathogens.

Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928, which was the first antibiotic drug used to treat bacterial infections in humans. This groundbreaking discovery revolutionized modern medicine and earned him the 1945 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Peter Doherty, an Australian scientist, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1996 for his research on the immune system and how the body fights off viruses.

Dr. Jonas Salk won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1954 for his development of the polio vaccine. His work was instrumental in helping to eradicate polio and saving countless lives worldwide.

Niels Bohr was awarded the 1922 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the structure of the atom and the radiation emanating from it. He proposed the Bohr model of the atom, which introduced the idea of quantized electron orbits.

Peter C. Doherty, an Australian veterinary surgeon and researcher, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1996 for his discoveries concerning the specificity of the cell-mediated immune defence. His work greatly contributed to the understanding of how the immune system recognizes virus-infected cells.

Marie Curie received her second Nobel Prize in 1911 for the discovery of radium and polonium, specifically in the field of Chemistry. She remains the only person to have received Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields.

There is no Nobel Prize for biology. The nearest is the prize for Physiology and Medicine. The first winner (1901) was Emil Adolf von Behring , a German , for his work on Diphtheria. Pavlov in 1904 won the prize for his work on digestion, the first winner with a biological theme.

You can find a list of Nobel Prize winners in the field of life sciences on the official Nobel Prize website or by searching for the specific category you are interested in on academic websites or databases. These winners are recognized for their outstanding contributions to areas such as physiology, medicine, and chemistry.

C. V. Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the Raman effect.

Madam Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903, which she shared with her husband Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel. She later received a second Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 for her discovery of the elements radium and polonium.

John Dalton in 1803

Marie Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 for her discovery of the radioactive elements polonium and radium.

In 1905, Heinrich Hermann Robert Koch was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, which was what he was most known for. Koch received many prizes and medals, honorary citizenship's of Berlin, honorary doctorates of the Universities of Heidelberg and Bologna, Wollstein and Clausthal, and honourary memberships of educated societies and academies in Berlin, Perugia, Vienna, Posen, Naples and New York. He was given the German Order of the Crown, the Grand Cross of the German Order of the Red Eagle (which was also the first time this high distinction was awarded to a medical practitioner), and Orders from Turkey and Russia. Long after his death, he was honoured by various memorials and or other ways in different countries.

Ahmed Zewail, an Egyptian-American scientist, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1999 for his work in femtochemistry, which is the study of chemical reactions on extremely short timescales. His research focused on the observation of chemical reactions in real-time at the femtosecond (1 millionth of a billionth of a second) timescale.

No, James Watt did not receive a Nobel Prize. Watt was a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer known for his improvements to the steam engine.

No, Antoine Lavoisier did not receive a Nobel Prize as the Nobel Prizes were not established until the late 19th century, long after his death in 1794. Lavoisier is known as the "Father of Modern Chemistry" for his pioneering work in the field.

The year in which William Shockley won a Nobel Prize was 1956. Two other people in his team (John Bardeen and Walter Houser) won the Nobel Prize for their invention.
