2025 Nobel Prize Winners in Medicine

 

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi for their work on how our immune system is prevented from attacking our organs.

The three scientists' research provides insights into keeping the immune system under control to fight microbes and avoid autoimmune diseases. Their research revealed how our bodies use regulatory T cells to keep the immune system in check.

Their work has launched a new field in peripheral tolerance research and led to the development of new medical treatments, including for cancer and autoimmune diseases.
