About Tu Youyou Award
Professor Tu Youyou was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015 for her groundbreaking work in the discovery of artemisinin, a drug that has significantly reduced the mortality rates for patients suffering from malaria. Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs), which incorporate artemisinin and other antimalarial drugs, are now the standard treatment for malaria recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Tu Youyou's work has had a profound impact on global health, particularly in regions where malaria is endemic.
