Victor Ambros, a scientist at UMass Chan Medical School in Worcester, has been named the recipient of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his co-discovery of microRNA.

Two scientists from Massachusetts are this year’s winners of the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. Victor Ambros of UMass Medical School and Gary Ruvkun of Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital won for their discovery of microRNA — tiny bits of genetic material that serve as on and off switches that help control what cells do.

A pair of Massachusetts professors won a Nobel Prize for discovering microRNA, which could lead to new ways of treating cancer.

Two scientists who discovered a type of RNA molecule that helps control the activity of genes have won the 2024 Nobel Prize in medicine.

U.S. scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine on Monday for the discovery of microRNA and its crucial role in how multicellular organisms grow and live.

A suit, perhaps, with a button-down shirt and tie was an option. Instead, Ambros went with less formal attire, a short-sleeved shirt plastered with images of tigers. "It's my favorite shirt,

US scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun have won the medicine Nobel Prize for discovering tiny molecules that have played a crucial role in human evolution, offering clues to how deadly diseases can be tackled.

The work by Americans Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun is “proving to be fundamentally important for how organisms develop and function,” according to a panel that awarded the prize in Stockholm.
