Victor Ambros, the 2024 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine, stands as a towering figure in the field of molecular biology, renowned for his seminal work in gene regulation. As a professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Ambros co-discovered microRNAs, small RNA molecules that play a critical role in regulating gene expression. His pioneering research with C. elegans uncovered the fundamental mechanisms by which these microRNAs control development and aging, reshaping our understanding of genetic pathways. Alongside his longtime collaborator, Gary Ruvkun, Ambros’ work has had profound implications for biomedical science, including potential therapies for diseases such as cancer. His brilliance, humility, and dedication to advancing science have solidified his legacy as one of the most influential molecular biologists of the 21st century.
