"we all wonder who will be recognised. This year, many thought the prize for medicine might go to scientists who made discoveries that led to drugs to treat obesity like Ozempic, given the number of people whose lives have been improved. Instead, it has gone to immunology. We're a competitive bunch, we scientists, and immunologists love the win as it puts the focus on our field."
Scientists' discovery provides therapies that help people with cancer, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease and systemic lupus erythematosus. Each year scientists speculate about potential Nobel Prize winners, producing predictions and widespread curiosity. Many observers expected the medicine prize to reward discoveries that led to obesity treatments such as Ozempic because those drugs have improved many lives. The prize instead recognised advances in immunology. Immunologists welcome the award because it directs attention and resources to immunology. The recognition highlights immunology's role in translating basic discoveries into therapies and strengthens the field's visibility, influence and potential for further therapeutic breakthroughs.
