Unreachable Fred Ramsdell Wins Nobel Prize in Medicine for Immune System 'Security Guards'
Fred Ramsdell, a senior advisor at Sonoma Biotherapeutics, has been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine. He shares the prize with Mary Brunkow and Shimon Sakaguchi for their groundbreaking work on the immune system's 'security guards', regulatory T-cells. However, Ramsdell remains unreachable, currently on an 'off the grid' hiking trip in Idaho.
Shimon Sakaguchi, aged 74, made the initial discovery in 1995. He identified a previously unknown class of immune cells that protect the body from autoimmune diseases. These cells, now known as regulatory T-cells, play a crucial role in maintaining immune balance.
In 2001, Mary Brunkow, born in 1961, and Fred Ramsdell made another key discovery. They expanded on Sakaguchi's work, focusing on 'peripheral immune tolerance'. This research has led to a new field of study and the development of potential medical treatments in clinical trials. The Nobel committee recognised their collective efforts in identifying the immune system's 'security guards'.
Ramsdell's current whereabouts pose a challenge for the Nobel committee. There is no publicly available information about a contact person for him. He is believed to be unreachable, enjoying a hiking trip in the Idaho wilderness.
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine has been awarded to Fred Ramsdell, Mary Brunkow, and Shimon Sakaguchi for their pioneering work on regulatory T-cells. Despite Ramsdell's current unavailability, his groundbreaking research continues to impact the medical field. The search for a contact person continues, but the Nobel committee remains eager to celebrate all three laureates' achievements.
