The Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine 2024 has been announced! Congratulations to Prof. Victor Ambros and Prof. Gary Ruvkun as the new Nobel Prize laureates in this field for their contribution to the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. This prize is precious to the entire microRNA community as it underscores the significance and potential of microRNA research. We are prouder than ever to be one of the only labs that develops next-generation technologies for microRNA detection in the Middle East.
