NOBEL LAUREATE NADIA MURAD

Grateful thanks to

Medicine Laureate William Kaelin!

Happy 63rd birthday(23 November) to 2019 Medicine Laureate William Kaelin!

William Kaelin shared the Medicine Prize with Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg Semenza for their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability.

Oxygen sensing is central to a large number of diseases. The discoveries made by the 2019 Medicine Laureates have fundamental importance for physiology and have paved the way for promising new strategies to fight anaemia, cancer and many other diseases.

Intense ongoing efforts in academic laboratories and pharmaceutical companies are now focused on developing drugs that can interfere with different disease states by either activating, or blocking, the oxygen-sensing machinery.

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER CARL VON OSSIETZKY

Under arrest at the time of the award, Carl von Ossietzky was unable to collect the Nobel Peace Prize.

Journalist and socialist Ossietzky was one of the foremost critics of political developments in Germany in the inter-war years. He revealed that the German authorities were secretly engaging in rearmament contrary to the Versailles Treaty. For this he was found guilty of treason and imprisoned. An international campaign was organised to have Ossietzky released. As one part of this campaign, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

#OnThisDay in 1936, the Nobel Committee announced that the Nobel Peace Prize was to be awarded to Ossietzky. Hitler reacted to the news with fury, and prohibited all Germans from receiving the Nobel Prize. The seriously ill laureate was refused permission to leave for Norway to accept the distinction. He died in a prison hospital in May 1938.
