Congratulations to the winners of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2025
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2025 was awarded to Dr. Mary E. Brunkow, Dr. Fred Ramsdell, and Dr. Shimon Sakaguchi for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance. BCCHR's Dr. Megan Levings reflects on the significance of this area of research and how these immune cells could develop treatments for numerous diseases such as type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, organ rejection, and more.
