Gary Ruvkun, a 2024 Nobel Prize laureate in Physiology or Medicine, has profoundly shaped our understanding of genetic regulation and aging. As a molecular biologist and professor at Harvard Medical School, Ruvkuns groundbreaking research on microRNAs, tiny RNA molecules that regulate gene expression, has unveiled a new dimension of biological control mechanisms. His pioneering work with the nematode C. elegans revealed how these small RNAs influence the development and longevity of organisms. This discovery has broad implications for aging, disease, and biotechnology. Alongside his research partner, Victor Ambros, Ruvkuns contributions have expanded the frontier of molecular biology, revealing insights into RNA interference and its therapeutic potential. His intellectual rigor and relentless curiosity have earned him a place among the most esteemed scientists of our time.
