Who decides Nobel winners?
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is awarded by the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. Nominations come from thousands of academics worldwide, followed by a thorough review by expert committees. The process is highly secretive, ensuring independence and preventing lobbying, culminating in the announcement of discoveries like those by Deisseroth, Hegemann and Nagel.
