The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2008

It's that time of the year again! The Nobel Prize for Medicine went to Harald zur Hausen (GER), for his discovery of "human papilloma viruses causing cervical cancer" and Françoise Barré-Sinoussi (FRA) and Luc Montagnier (FRA) for their discovery of "human immunodeficiency virus".

Well we all know the impact of HIV and more recently the virus causing cervical cancer against which there is now a vaccine!
