The brains behind AIDS and cervical cancer!
The Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded today to three people: two French virologists credited for discovering HIV and the German physician and scientist who discovered HPV, or human papillomavirus.
Other major medical developments honored by Nobel Prizes include the development of penicillin, blood typing and genetic engineering.
A pretty impressive list to join, I'd say.
