Two American and one British scientist have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in recognition of their identification with the hepatitis C virus. Their research will help explain one of the main sources of hepatitis in the blood. The Nobel Committee says the joint study by the three scientists will lead to blood tests and the discovery of new drugs. Which will save the lives of millions of people. The three recipients are Harvey J. Alter and Charles M. Rice of the United States and Michael Hutton of British descent. They were announced as winners of this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine at a news conference in the Swedish capital, Stockholm, on Monday. The Nobel laureates will receive 10 million Swedish kronor (৯ 951 million) in prize money in addition to recognition, Reuters reported. Nobel Committee Secretary Thomas Pearlman has been in touch with Harvey J. Alter and Charles M. Rice among the winners since the Nobel Prize was announced. "I probably woke them up," he said. Because communication has been possible after calling a few times. However, they were very surprised and happy to hear. The Nobel laureates will be announced tomorrow, October 6 in physics, October 6 in chemistry, October 6 in literature, October 9 in peace and October 12 in economics. According to the pre-plan, the names of the Nobel laureates have been announced this time. However, the Corona epidemic has affected here too. As in other years, prizes are handed over to the winners in a grand event in December, but not so much this time. The Nobel Committee hopes that the Corona epidemic will end by next year. And so the 2021 Nobel laureates will be invited to celebrate this year's winners. From 1901 to last year, 110 Nobel Prizes in Medicine were awarded. 12 of them are women. Frederick G. Banting is the youngest of the award winners in medicine. He was 32 years old when he won the award in 1923. In 1989, Peyton Roose received the award for 7 years. He received the Nobel Prize in Medicine at the oldest age.
