One of this year’s Nobel Prizes is not only a brilliant medical researcher, but also a balance of balance, between the laboratory and life. In fact, it could be so good in what he doesn’t even know he has won.
Fred Ramsdell was among the honest on Monday with a 2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine, but he is currently “living his best life” in a walkway raid “out of the network,” said a spokesman for his laboratory based in San Francisco, Sonoma Biotherape. AFP.
Ramsdell shared the prestigious prize with Mary Brunkow from Seattle, Washington and Shimon Sakaguchi of Osaka University in Japan for its discoveries related to the operation of the immune system.
But the digital detoxification of the laureate means that the Nobel Committee has not been able to communicate with him and break the news.
Jeffrey Bluestone, friend of Ramsdell and co -founder of the laboratory, said the researcher deserves credit, but cannot reach it either.
“I’ve been trying to get it. AFP.
The Nobel Committee also reached an obstacle that tried to reach Brunkow, both investigators are based on the west coast of the United States, which is nine hours behind Stockholm, but finally seized it.
“I asked them, if they have a chance, they call me,” said Thomas Perlmann, general secretary of the Nobel Committee, at the press conference announcing the winners.
The three won the research award that identified the “security guards” of the immune system, called regulatory T cells.
His work refers to “peripheral immune tolerance” that prevents the immune system from damaging the body, and has led to a new field of research and the development of possible medical treatments that are now evaluated in clinical trials.
Sakaguchi, 74, made the first key finding in 1995, discovering a kind of previously unknown immune cells that protect the body from autoimmune diseases.
Brunkow, born in 1961 and now senior manager of projects at the Institute of Biology of Systems in Seattle, and Ramsdell, a 64 -year -old main advisor at Sonoma Biotherapics, made the other key discovery in 2001.
