30 Nobel Prizes. Discoveries That Changed Medicine

The most famous and prestigious award in the world—the Nobel Prize—is awarded annually for outstanding scientific research, revolutionary inventions, contributions to culture, or the development of society. This book is about the Nobel Prize winners in Physiology or Medicine. At the time of writing, 210 prizes have been awarded to 219 laureates. From these, we selected 30—those whose works are widely used, whose significance is known to everyone, and whose essence is understandable to any person without special education—those who care about medicine and their own health.
The discoveries are grouped by themes and collected in six chapters dedicated to physiology, genetics, pathogens, medical methods, and pharmacology. You can start reading from any chapter—whichever topic you find most interesting.
