Nobel Medicine Prize 1990 Honoured Transplant Pioneers
Original: Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1990
The 1990 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Joseph Murray and E. Donnall Thomas for their discoveries concerning organ and cell transplantation. Murray performed the first successful kidney transplant between identical twins, while Thomas developed bone marrow transplantation as a treatment for leukaemia and other blood disorders, laying the foundation for modern transplant medicine.
Why now: The prize is being revisited, likely in connection with renewed interest in the history of transplantation medicine.
