Hundreds of scientists from around the world have received Nobel Prizes for their groundbreaking achievements in Physiology or Medicine; Chemistry; Physics; and Economic Sciences. To date, 174 scientists either at NIH or whose research is supported by NIH funds have been the sole or shared recipients of 104 Nobel Prizes. Asterisk (*) indicates individuals who have served as NIH staff scientists.
