Jeffrey Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael Young awarded for their findings of molecular mechanisms controlling our biological clocks

Scientists Jeffrey Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael Young won the 2017 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for their findings of molecular mechanisms controlling our biological clocks, the award-giving organization said on Monday.

“Their findings give details about how plants, animals and humans adapt their biological rhythm so that it is synchronized with the Earth's revolutions,” the Nobel Assembly at Sweden's Karolinska Institute said in a statement on awarding the prize of 9 million Swedish crowns ($1.1 million).

Medicine is the first of the Nobel Prizes awarded each year. The prizes for achievements in science, literature and peace were created in accordance with the will of dynamite inventor and businessman Alfred Nobel and have been awarded since 1901.

The three United States-born scientists used fruit flies to isolate a gene that controls the rhythm of a living organism’s daily life.

By examining the internal workings of fruit flies, the three helped settle on that the gene they were analyzing encoded a protein that accumulated in a cell at night, and then despoiled during the day.
