“My fish and chips were just put down in front of me when someone rang and said, ‘Hello this is Stockholm speaking, you've won the Nobel Prize this year’. I could feel my face going white.”

Robin Warren was sitting in a pub in Perth, Australia opposite collaborator Barry Marshall when he got the Nobel Prize call – letting them know that they had both been awarded the 2005 Medicine Prize for their discovery of how stomach ulcers are caused by bacteria, not stress.

On Monday 5 October 2020 the Nobel committee at Karolinska Institutet will be calling one or many scientist(s) to inform them that they have been awarded the Medicine Prize - stay tuned to hear the news first!
