May 10, 2024 · Peter J. Ratcliffe, British scientist known for his research on erythropoietin, a hormone that influences red blood cell production, and for his research on oxygen-sensing mechanisms in cells. His insights into how cells sense oxygen earned him a share of the 2019 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.
Oct 7, 2019 · William G. Kaelin Jr., Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza discovered how cells can sense and adapt to changing oxygen availability. They identified molecular machinery that regulates the activity of genes in response to varying levels of oxygen.
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2019 was awarded jointly to William G. Kaelin Jr, Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza "for their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability"
Oct 7, 2019 · Professor Sir Peter J Ratcliffe, Director for the Target Discovery Institute within the Nuffield Department of Medicine at Oxford University and Director of Clinical Research at Francis Crick Institute, London, has today been announced as a winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Globally celebrated, Dr. Ratcliffe has made landmark contributions to our understanding of molecular responses to oxygen depletion. He is credited for the identification of the oxygen sensing and signaling pathways that link the hypoxia inducible factor to the availability of oxygen.
