The most famous and honorable prize in the world - the Nobel Prize - is awarded annually for outstanding scientific research, revolutionary inventions, contribution to culture or the development of society. In this book we will talk about the winners of the prize in physiology or medicine. At the time of writing, 210 prizes have been awarded to 219 laureates. Of these, we selected 30 - those whose works are widely used, the meaning of which is known to everyone, and the essence is clear to any person without special education - who is not indifferent to medicine and their own health. The discoveries are grouped by topic and collected in six chapters on physiology, genetics, pathogens, medical methods, and pharmacology. You can start reading from any chapter - from the topic that seems most interesting to you.
