INTRODUCTIONThe Nobel Prize is regarded as the most prestigious award recognizing intellectual achievement in the fields of Physiology or Medicine, Chemistry, Physics, Literature, and Peace. It was established in 1895 under the aegis of the will of Alfred Nobel, Swedish industrialist and inventor, and awarded for the first time in 1901 for outstanding contributions to humanity in the aforementioned fields.

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is awarded by the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet. Alfred Nobel had an active interest in medical researches and the life sciences. Physiology or Medicine was the third Nobel Prize mentioned in his will. Through this award Alfred Nobel wanted to establish a prize for progress through scientific discoveries in the field of medicine.

The Nobel winners in Physiology or Medicine are discoverers that have changed the paradigm in an area of Medicine and Physiology; they change the understanding of life or the practice of medicine. DNA and molecular biology, and research on infections have been the most awarded areas. The most criticized award was the 1949 Nobel Prize to Egas Moniz for Lobotomy while the most popular was the 1945 Nobel to Alexander Fleming for Penicillin along with Howard Florey and Ernst Chain.

Till today 107 Nobel Prizes have been awarded in this category. The first one was awarded to Emil von Behring for developing a vaccine against diphtheria in 1901. The prize was withheld in nine occasions during both the World Wars. The shared and unshared recipients of Nobel Prize winners in Physiology number 211 individuals of which only 12 are women and out of this only one, Barabara McClintock awarded in 1983, received an unshared prize.

In this ebook, we give a brief introduction of distinguished personalities who were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine from 1901 to 2000. This ebook is a tribute to the hard work and sacrifices made by the pioneers in Medicine and Physiology, which laid the foundation for modern medicine research and practice. We hope this ebook would serve as a useful reference for readers.

Alfred Bernhard Nobel BiographyAlfred Bernhard Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, inventor, businessman, and philanthropist. Born on October 21, 1833, Alfred Nobel was the third son of Immanuel Nobel and Carolina Andriette (Ahlsell) Nobel. Immanuel Nobel was an engineer and inventor who built bridges and buildings in Stockholm. After a bankruptcy in 1842, Alfred’s family moved to Russia where his father was a successful manufacturer of explosives and torpedoes. Alfred’s family involvement with instruments of destruction was responsible to bring him both his fortune and the humiliation that eventually drove him to found the Nobel Prize which keeps his memory alive.

Born in a rich family, Nobel brothers received first class education at Russian, and just at an age of 17 Alfred could speak and write in Russian, French, Swedish, English, and German. He was sent abroad at a small age to study and become a chemical engineer. In Paris, Alfred worked in the laboratory of famous chemist Professor T. J. Pelouze, where he met an Italian chemist named Ascanio Sobrero and came to know about highly explosive liquid nitroglycerine.

When Alfred returned back to Russia after finishing his studies, he tried to work together with his father to develop nitroglycerine as a commercially useful explosive to use it in construction works. In 1863, Nobel family had to move back to Sweden after their sudden business failure in Russia. There at Sweden Alfred focused on developing nitroglycerine as an explosive. Unfortunately, these experiments caused accidents that killed several people, including Alfred’s younger brother, but Alfred did not lose hope and continued his experiment opting safer methods.

In 1866, after various experiments, Alfred found that mixing nitroglycerine with fine sand called kieselguhr would turn the liquid into the paste that could be turned into various shapes as per drilling requirements. Next year Alfred got a legal right of ownership on this material. He named it dynamite. This invention helped in cost reduction of diamond drilling and many construction works

like drilling tunnels, blasting rocks and building bridges. He also invented detonator or blasting cap which could be triggered just by lighting a fuse.

Alfred also performed experiments in making synthetic materials. By the time of his death in 1896, 355 patents had been registered by him. Since his inventions, dynamite and detonating caps were there in huge demand in construction industry; Alfred established factories in 90 different places and traveled to more than 20 countries for business.

In November 1895, Nobel signed his will providing for the establishment of what came to be the most highly regarded of International awards, the Nobel Prizes. He bequeathed his huge fortune to establish annual prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace. The Economics prize was added later. In 1901, the first Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine and Literature were awarded in Stockholm, Sweden and the Peace Prize in Kristiania (now Oslo), Norway.

Alfred Nobel died at his home in Italy on 10th December 1896. He Is buried in Stockholm. He himself remains a figure of paradoxes; a brilliant but lonely man, part alarmist and part idealist.
