2025 Nobel Prize Winners

Physiology or Medicine

Mary E. Brunkow (USA), Fred Ramsdell (USA), and Shimon Sakaguchi (Japan) were awarded for their discoveries on peripheral immune tolerance, specifically the role of regulatory T cells in preventing the immune system from attacking the body’s own cells. Their work opens paths for treatments of autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Physics

John Clarke (UK), Michel H. Devoret (France/USA), and John M. Martinis (USA) were recognized for their pioneering work on macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in electric circuits, which contributes foundational knowledge to quantum computing and superconducting technologies.

Chemistry

Susumu Kitagawa (Japan), Richard Robson (UK), and Omar Yaghi (USA) received the prize for the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), porous materials with vast surface areas, revolutionizing applications in gas storage, catalysis, and environmental sustainability.

Upcoming Announcements

The Nobel Prizes in Literature, Peace, and Economic Sciences are to be announced between October 9 and October 11, 2025.

Award Ceremony

The award ceremonies are scheduled for December 10, 2025.
