Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun have been awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their groundbreaking work on microRNA. Their journey began in the late 1980s as postdoctoral fellows in the same lab, where they tackled fundamental questions about how multicellular life operates. Even after establishing their own labs, they continued to collaborate, pushing the boundaries of our understanding of gene regulation and cellular function. Their research has opened new doors in biology and medicine, shedding light on how tiny molecules can have a huge impact on health and disease.
