Ranking Member Lofgren Congratulates 2025 Nobel Prize Winners
(Washington, DC) – This week, the Nobel Prizes in Medicine, Physics, and Chemistry were announced. These awards honor the extraordinary accomplishments and innovations of their recipients. Each year, thousands of nominators submit candidates for the Nobel Prize, and Laureates are announced in October.
“The Nobel Prize is a powerful representation of achievement and progress," said Ranking Member Lofgren (D-CA). "I extend my sincere congratulations to this year’s laureates. I’m very proud to see so many U.S.-based laureates, and I’m especially proud that many of them are affiliated with California-based research institutions. But it begs the question, as the Trump administration continues to work to destroy American leadership in science and innovation, will we continue to have such robust representation in the Nobel Prize in the future? The impactful contributions of each winner underscores the vital importance of sustained federal investment in science. We must continue to fight for support for research that will ensure innovations and discoveries are made here at home, inspiring the next generation of scientists."
The 2025 Nobel Prizes in STEM fields are as follows:
- Nobel Prize in Medicine – Awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi
- Nobel Prize in Physics – Awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis
