[[Image:E A Behring.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Emil Adolf von Behring]] was the first person to receive the Nobel Prize in [[Physiology]] or [[Medicine]], for his work on the treatment of [[diphtheria]].]]
The [[Nobel Prize]] in [[Physiology]] or [[Medicine]] ([[Swedish language|Swedish]]: ''Nobelpriset i fysiologi eller medicin'') is awarded once a year by the Swedish [[Karolinska Institutet|Karolinska Institute]]. It is one of the five [[Nobel Prize]]s established by the will of [[Alfred Nobel]] in 1895, awarded for outstanding contributions in [[physics]], [[chemistry]], [[literature]], [[peace]], and physiology or medicine since 1901. The first Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded in 1901 to [[Emil Adolf von Behring]], a German, "for his work on [[blood plasma|serum]] therapy, especially its application against [[diphtheria]], by which he has opened a new road in the domain of medical science and thereby placed in the hands of the physician a victorious weapon against illness and deaths." This award is administered by the [[Nobel Foundation]] and widely regarded as the most prestigious award that a scientist can receive in these fields. It is presented in [[Stockholm]] at an annual ceremony on December 10, the [[anniversary]] of Nobel's death. "The highlight of the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony in Stockholm is when each Nobel Laureate steps forward to receive the prize from the hands of His Majesty the King of Sweden. ... Under the eyes of a watching world, the Nobel Laureate receives three things: a diploma, a medal and a document confirming the prize amount" ("What the Nobel Laureates Receive"). In 2007 the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to [[Mario Capecchi]] (of [[Italy]]), Sir [[Martin Evans]] (of the [[United Kingdom]]), and [[Oliver Smithies]] (of the [[United Kingdom]] and the [[United States]]), "for their discoveries for introducing specific gene modifications in mice by the use of [[embryonic stem cells]]"; they share the prize amount of 10,000,000 [[Swedish krona|SEK]] (slightly more than [[Euro|€]]1 million, or [[United States dollar|US$]]1.4 million). The front side of "The medal of the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute" provides [[Alfred Nobel|the same profile of Alfred Nobel]] depicted on the medals for Physics, Chemistry, and Literature; its reverse side "represents the Genius of Medicine holding an open book in her lap, collecting the water pouring out from a rock in order to quench a sick girl's thirst" ("The Nobel Prize Medals").
