Tu Youyou receives Nobel Prize for medicine
屠呦呦被授予諾貝爾醫學獎
This year's Nobel laureates in medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and economics have received their awards at a royal ceremony at the Stockholm concert hall in Sweden.
Tu Youyou from China, Irish-born William Campbell and Japan's Satoshi Omura have received the award in Physiology or Medicine.
The assembly said Tu won half of the prize "for her discoveries concerning a novel therapy against Malaria", and Campbell and Omura were jointly awarded the other half of the prize "for their discoveries concerning a novel therapy against infections caused by roundworm parasites".
The three will share the prize of about 960 thousand US dollars. Tu Youyou collected China's first Nobel Prize for medicine.
In addition to the Nobel Laureates and their families, the King and Queen and other members of the Royal Family of Sweden are guests of honour at both the Prize Award Ceremony and the Banquet. Representatives of the Swedish Government and Parliament are also participating.
