Nutrition label

82% Informative

Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun won the 2024 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their discovery of microRNA.

The tiny biological molecules tell the cells in your body what kind of cell to be by turning on and off certain genes.

The Conversation Weekly podcast caught up with Ambros from his lab at the UMass Chan Medical School .

Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun were postdoctoral fellows at the same time at MIT .

They discovered microRNAs in C. elegans, but by the time they made their respective discoveries, they'd both set up their own labs.

Ambros : I'm excited by the very organized, active partnership between families with Argonaute syndromes and basic scientists.
