The Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute has today awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology Medicine.

We won half jointly to William C. Campbell and Satoshi Omura for their discoveries concerning a novel therapy against infections

caused by roundworm parasites. And the other half two, Yu-Yo too, for her discoveries concerning

a novel therapy against malaria. Urban Lindahl of the Nobel Committee shortly after

5.30 this morning, Eastern Time.

Campbell is affiliated with Drew University in New Jersey.

O'Mora is at Japan's Cadisato University.

Their work developed the drug Avermectin and later the closely related drug Ivermectin.

The medications have led to the near eradication of the roundworm caused diseases river blindness and lymphatic

phyleriasis, also known as elephantiasis. Yu Yu too is with the Academy of Chinese Medicine.

Her studies led to the creation of the drug Artemisinin, which has lowered mortality rates

from malaria. About half the world's population have been living with the threat of these

infections. Both types of drugs are examples of natural products chemistry, that is, the efficacious

compounds were isolated from organisms that naturally produced them or similar molecules

and had exhibited therapeutic potential in screenings. The impact of Avramectine and Artemisinin goes far beyond reducing the disease burden of individuals.

Hans Forsberg of the Nobel Committee.
