2020年诺贝尔医学奖揭晓

Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded to US-UK trio for discovery of hepatitis C virus

(CNN)The Nobel Prize in Medicine has been jointly awarded to Harvey J. Alter, Michael Houghton and Charles M. Rice for the discovery of hepatitis C virus.

The award is one of the most sought-after global accolades and grants entry into one of the most prestigious clubs in the world.

The Nobel Assembly said in a news release Monday that the three scientists "made seminal discoveries that led to the identification of a novel virus." It said the trio had "made a decisive contribution to the fight against blood-borne hepatitis, a major global health problem that causes cirrhosis and liver cancer in people around the world."

The 2020 Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded at Sweden's Karolinska Institutet on Monday.

Globally, an estimated 71 million people have chronic hepatitis C virus infection, according to the World Health Organization. A significant number of those who are chronically infected will develop cirrhosis or liver cancer.

该奖项是最受欢迎的全球荣誉之一,并授予进入世界上最有声望的俱乐部之一的机会。

诺贝尔大会在星期一的新闻发布会上说,这三位科学家“取得了开创性的发现,导致了一种新型病毒的鉴定”。它说,这三位科学家“为抗击血源性肝炎作出了决定性的贡献,这是一个全球重大的健康问题,在全世界范围内都会导致肝硬化和肝癌。”
