What happens after a scientist wins the Nobel Prize? For Victor Ambros, it means continuing the fight to turn scientific discovery into real treatments.
In this interview with TVP World, the Nobel Prize–winning biologist discusses his groundbreaking discovery of microRNA, a key breakthrough that transformed our understanding of gene regulation and modern genetic medicine.
Ambros is visiting Poland to support AGO Alliance Poland, a non-profit organization working to advance research into AGO syndrome — an ultra-rare genetic condition caused by mutations in the Ago1 and Ago2 genes. The organization raises awareness and supports children and families living with this rare disorder.
In this conversation, Ambros explains:
• how the discovery of microRNA changed biology
• the future of RNA-based medicine and gene therapy
• why rare disease research is one of the biggest challenges in medicine
• the promise of technologies like CRISPR
• and his personal connection to Poland, the birthplace of his father
This interview explores how fundamental science can lead to breakthroughs that may one day save lives.
