The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award
the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to
Frances H. Arnold
George P. Smith
Sir Gregory P. Winter
They harnessed the power of evolution
The power of evolution is revealed through the diversity of life. The 2018 Nobel Laureates in Chemistry have taken control of evolution and used it for purposes that bring the greatest benefit to humankind. Enzymes produced through directed evolution are used to manufacture everything from biofuels to pharmaceuticals. Antibodies evolved using a method called phage display can combat autoimmune diseases and in some cases cure metastatic cancer.
