Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been honoring men and women from all corners of the globe for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and for work in peace. The foundations for the prize were laid in 1895 when Alfred Nobel wrote his last will, leaving much of his wealth to the establishment of the Nobel Prize.
This event, organized through the Science@RCC initiative, will review this year’s Nobel Prizes in Science: physics (for groundbreaking inventions in the field of laser physics), chemistry (for the directed evolution of enzymes and the phage display of peptides and antibodies), and physiology or medicine (for the discovery of cancer therapy by inhibition of negative immune regulation).
The speakers will briefly go through the key aspects of each of the fields’ discoveries that lead to this important distinction, established, in words of Alfred Nobel himself, “for the Greatest Benefit to Mankind”.
Speakers:
Oscar Viyuela García. RCC Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard University & Massachusetts Institute of Technology;
Sara García Linares. RCC Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard Medical School;
Marta Pérez Rando. RCC Postdoctoral Fellow, MassGeneral Institute of Neurodegenerative Disease (MIND) & affiliate of Harvard Medical School.
