Three researchers who won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Medicine shared their honor

All three science Michael Young, Michael Rosbash and Jeffrey Hall were all surprised to learn about winning the 2017 Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Michael Young, Michael Rosbash and Jeffrey Hall, scientists who won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Medicine for their discovery of the gene that governs the biological clock, shared a sudden feeling after receiving the award, according to ABC News.

Michael Young, a professor at Rockefeller University, was shocked to hear the winning news."I was really surprised. I even fumbled this morning with my shoes , " he said. According to Young, his research with two colleagues revealed "a beautiful mechanism" on how genes manipulate the biological clock.

When asked about the medical results from research, he said, they are in the beginning stage. However, they have detected genetic changes in some people with chronic insomnia. This gives them completely new ways of thinking.

Jeffrey Hall, a professor who taught at Brandeis University, revealed that, due to changes in the biological rhythm of old life, he was awake before receiving a call from Sweden to announce the Nobel Prize."I asked," Is this a joke? "I don't believe it, I don't think it will be won," he said.

Science knows the circadian rhythm from the 1700s, according to Hall. Understanding the mechanism of circadian rhythms may give researchers the opportunity to treat circadian rhythm disorders that cause sleep problems.

"If you understand how the normal process takes place, you will have the opportunity to influence the internal mechanism of the biological clock and can improve the health of the patient," Hall said.

Professor at Brandeis University, Michael Rosbash, said at the age of 73, there was usually nothing good going on when a phone call was received at 5:09 am."When the phone rings at that hour, it's usually to notify someone who just died , " he said. But Rosbash was surprised to find out he won the Nobel Prize.

Rosbash started studying this issue in 1982. "I'm happy. I'm happy for the medical profession. I'm happy for the fruit flies. And this is a great thing for the university too," he said.
