Svante Pääbo was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2022.
He received the prize for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.
Svante Pääbo’s pioneering work includes sequencing the genome of the Neanderthal, discovering the existence of Denisovans (another extinct hominin group), and revealing that gene transfer occurred from these extinct hominins to Homo sapiens after the migration out of Africa. This gene flow has physiological relevance today, for example, affecting how our immune system reacts to infections. David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2021. Charles M. Rice shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2020.
