The 2019 Nobel Prize in Medicine has been jointly awarded to William Kaelin Jr., Sir Peter Ratcliffe and Gregg Semenza for their pioneering research into how human cells respond to changing oxygen levels

The importance of oxygen has long been established, the committee explained, but how cells adapt to changes in its levels remained unknown."This is something basic biology students will be learning about when they study, at aged 12 or 13, or younger, biology and learn the fundamental ways cells work," he said.

Johnson added that the laureates had"greatly expanded our knowledge of how physiological response makes life possible" and were"necessary actors in figuring out how this whole thing works." "It's very clear that we now understand this fundamental biological switch that really impacts all our lives as living creatures here on earth breathing oxygen."New York-born Kaelin began his own research laboratory at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and became a full professor at Harvard Medical School in 2002.
