Nobel was interested in experimental physiology and wanted to establish a prize for scientific progress through laboratory discoveries.
First Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine:
The first Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded in 1901 to the German physiologist Emil Adolf von Behring. Behring’s discovery of serum therapy in the development of the diphtheria and tetanus vaccines put “in the hands of the physician a victorious weapon against illness and deaths”
