UMass Medical (and Worcester) on a roll: University professor co-wins a Nobel with Harvard scientist

This is yet another feather in the cap for UMass Medical School, the school’s second Nobel Prize winner in less than 20 years. It’s also another big win for the city of Worcester. … Congrats to both UMass’s Victor Ambros and MGH/Harvard’s Gary Ruvkun, co-winners of the Nobel for their joint discovery of microRNA.
