The 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been
awarded for discoveries in DNA repair.
Tomas Lindahl and Paul Modrich and Aziz Sancar
were named as the winners on Wednesday morning
at a news conference in Stockholm, Sweden.
Their work maps how cells repair damaged DNA -
a process that is fundamental in biology.
The prize money of eight million Swedish kronor is
divided among the winners.
"It's a very important process for preserving
genetic information," said Claes Gustafsson, from
the Nobel Committee.
The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded on
Tuesday to Takaaki Kajita and Arthur McDonald for
their work on neutrinos.
