Where did the Nobel laureates study

The Nobel Week is in full swing now, and the winners in the fields of physics, physiology and medicine and chemistry have already been named.In connection with this event, we decided to make a selection of 5 universities where the largest number of Nobel laureates studied and worked.Perhaps, after studying there, you yourself will become the owner of this award.

Harvard University

Harvard Universitynotonly the best in the world, but also the first in the number of Nobel Prize winners.He rightfully ranks first in this list, during the existence of the university, 157 (according to the university: 49) Nobel Prize winners studied and worked there.Most of all, among students and employees of the prize winners in the field of chemistry.Recent Nobel laureates are: Martin Karplus (received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for computer modeling of chemical systems”), Mario Capecchi (laureate of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for the creation and development of the gene knockout method”), Lloyd Shapley (received the Nobel Prize foreconomics “for the theory of stable distributions and the practice of market design”) and Barack Obama (Nobel Peace Prize laureate).

University of Cambridge

University of Cambridgeranks second in the list, 116 studied and worked within its walls (according toUniversity 98) Nobel laureates.Cambridge is renowned for its scientific contributions to mathematics and science.Most of the laureates who studied or worked at this university received the Nobel Prize in Physics.Recent Nobel Prize winners from this university are: David Thouless (Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics "for the theoretical discovery of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter"), Richard Henderson (received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for developments in cryoelectron microscopy forbiomolecules in solution ”) and Elizabeth Blackburn (laureate of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine“ for the discovery of the mechanisms of protection of chromosomes by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase ”).

University of California, Berkeley

The University of California at Berkeleyranks third in the list of universities with the largest number of Nobel laureates who studied or worked there.A total of 105 (47 according to the university) people among students and university employees are Nobel laureates.Recently Nobel Prize winners: Barry Barish (Nobel Prize winner in physics “for outstanding contributions to the LIGO detector and gravitational wave observation”), Christopher Sims (won the Nobel Prize in economics “for his empirical study of causality in macroeconomics”) and Carol Grader(laureate of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for the discovery of the mechanisms of protection of chromosomes by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase").

University of Chicago

The University of Chicagotook the fourth place in the list, over the years of its existence 97 (according toUniversity data 90) Nobel laureate.Future figures in the fields of economics, sociology, jurisprudence, literature and physics are trained at the university.Recent Nobel laureates from this university are: Arthur Eshkin (received the Nobel Prize in physics "for his work on optical capture"), Alvin Roth (the Nobel Prize winner in economics "for the theory of stable distribution and the practice of setting up markets") and Robert Lefkowitz (receivedNobel Prize in Chemistry “for the discovery and study of the GPCR”).

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Massachusetts Institute of Technologycloses TOP-5 universities where the largest number of Nobel laureates studied and worked...Among the alumni and employees of the university there are 91 Nobel laureates.The university has produced a large number of successful entrepreneurs and inventors.The Institute is extremely selective, especially when it comes to recruiting for engineering, technical and scientific programs.Recently Nobel Prizes were awarded to: Rainer Weiss (Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics “for his decisive contribution to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves”), Michael Rosbash (received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for his discovery of the molecular mechanisms that govern circadian rhythm”) and PaulModric (laureate of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the study of DNA repair mechanisms").
