Nobel Prize in Physiology\/Medicine<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2018 was awarded jointly to James P. Allison and Tasuku Honjo “for their discovery of cancer therapy by inhibition of negative immune regulation.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Allison studied a protein that functions as a brake on the immune system. He realized the potential of releasing the brake and thereby unleashing our immune cells to attack tumors. He then developed this concept into a brand new approach for treating patients.<\/p>\n

In parallel, Tasuku Honjo discovered a protein on immune cells and revealed that it also operates as a brake, but with a different mechanism of action.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Allison and Honjo showed how different strategies for inhibiting the brakes on the immune system can be used in the treatment of cancer.<\/p>\n

Nobel Prize in Chemistry<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2018 was divided, one half awarded to Frances H. Arnold “for the directed evolution of enzymes”, the other half jointly to George P. Smith and Sir Gregory P. Winter “for the phage display of peptides and antibodies.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This year\u2019s Nobel Laureates in Chemistry have been inspired by the power of evolution and used the same principles \u2013 genetic change and selection \u2013 to develop proteins that solve mankind\u2019s chemical problems.<\/p>\n
