What is a Nobel Prize and Who is Alfred Nobel? Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been honoring men and women from all corners of the globe for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and for work in peace. Here is the list of Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine below from 2001 to 2019.
The foundations for the prize were laid in 1895 when Alfred Nobel wrote his last will, leaving much of his wealth to the establishment of the Nobel Award. But who was Alfred Nobel?
They present here articles, photographs, a slide show, and poetry written by Nobel to give a glimpse of a man it reflects whose varied interests in the prize he established.
