The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2020 was awarded to two American scientists - Harvey James Alter from the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD, USA) and Charles M. Rice from the Rockefeller University (New York, NY, USA), as well as British researcher Michael Houghton, who is currently working at the University of Alberta (Edmonton, Canada) “for the discovery of the Hepatitis C virus.” A Nobel Committee press release has noted that the ongoing research of this year’s laureates are of great benefit to mankind, allowing for effective methods of diagnosis and measures for the prevention and treatment of this infection.
