Global spotlight is on 2020 Nobel prizes which is slated to commence today, Monday October 5, 2020. Many researchers have been mentioned and nominated in various capacities for their discoveries such as;
1. American Mary-Claire King, who discovered the BRCA1 gene responsible for a hereditary form of breast cancer.
2. The duo of Emmanuelle Charpentier of France and Jennifer Doudna of the US, for their gene-editing technique, the CRISPR-Cas9 DNA snipping tool, a type of genetic “scissors” in cutting mutated gene, and for insertion of a corrected manipulated one.
3. Dennis Slamon, American oncologist for research on breast cancer and the drug treatment Herceptin.
4. Leroy Hood, US gene sequencing pioneer.
5. And host of others.
Not only limited to medicine, in any field, who do you have in mind for his/her discovery roles in the past few years?
There are real doctors who treat any kind of infection including Covid 19 Covid 2099 also.
In many corner of the world. Health and Education should be completely at Free of cost for each and every Citizens and By the way healthcare corruption will get into an end for ever. No private involvement of anybody in health care Management.
Nobel Price For Medicine should goes to Dr.B.M.Hegde,MBBS.,MD.,DM. FCCP. BadhmaPhushan award winner.
Nobel Price Trust should take strict legal action on Xi and his allies who are the responsible person for Pandemic and By the way such mistakes will not repeat.
Andrea Ghez won the Nobel price in physics (2020) for an experiment nobody thought would work... Most times, that's how the bright side begins; rough and dark! This is a great lesson, consistency is the watchword!

Nobel Prize Winners in Chemistry:
1.) Emmanuelle Charpentier, Ph.D., Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens (Germany) and,
2.) Jennifer A. Doudna, Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley.
They were awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for awesome impact in medicine after the development of a method for genome editing, CRISPR-Cas9, a highly robust, super-selective and precise gene-editing tool where chemistry is believed to play great roles.
This discovery idea originally came from the knowledge of natural defense mechanism which bacteria use against viruses.
Today, it is really offering untold applications in treating and curing a number of genetic diseases and in the fight against cancer.
With its huge extensive role also cut beyond medicine and chemistry, its impacts also offer great benefits in agricultural and other areas.
From me, I can say, just like I earlier predicted that these people would win Nobel prize, the future for this technique is indeed limitless and shall offer more. Indeed, it's highly promising.
