Congratulations - Nobel prize in medicine awarded to hypoxia researchers

Hypoxia inducible factors (HIF) play an important role in our everyday physiology. Hypoxia (a low tissue oxygen content) is a feature of many diseases including chronic lung disease, lung disease and many cancers.

We had the privilege to cooperate with Professor Sir Peter Ratcliffe, a researcher at the University of Oxford, on the awarded topic.
