Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their groundbreaking discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance that prevents the immune system from harming the body.
The Nobel Prize laureates identified the immune system’s security guards, regulatory T cells, thus laying the foundation for a new field of research. The discoveries have also led to the development of potential medical treatments that are now being evaluated in clinical trials.
The hope is to be able to treat or cure autoimmune diseases, provide more effective cancer treatments and prevent serious complications after stem cell transplants.

A photo of all of the wonderful #elmi2024 delegates at the end of the ✨super✨ super-resolution and nanoscale imaging session, ruined by my massive face 👍
#MiFoBio2023 here we comeeee!! 🥳 Visit us at Atelier 135 for a super cool workshop on Super Resolution imaging of orientation in cells! 🔬 Super excited to witness other home-made setups in action 😍
Presented my first ever poster yesterday at the 4th Scientific Annual Conference of Institut Cancer et Immunologie, Marseille.
I'm grateful for this opportunity. I thought it would be scary, but I had FUN telling people about my research! @CancerImmunoAMU@InstitutFresnel
