This video presents four Nobel winners: Joshua Lederberg (1958, Medicine), Har Gobind Khorana (1968, Medicine), Howard Temin (1975, Medicine), and John Van Vleck (1977, Physics). These four were chosen as their time at UW-Madison included work that directly led to their Nobel Prize and serves as an excellent example of how our campus fosters innovation, experimentation and the Wisconsin Idea.
Want to know more? The University of Wisconsin-Madison Archives maintains archival collections, including images and oral histories, that document the lives and research of Lederberg, Khorana, Temin, and Van Vleck, as well as many other faculty noted for their reserach achievements.
