Abstract

The 2015 Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology was awarded to William C. Campbell and Satoshi Omura for their discovery of avermectins, and to Tu You You for her contribution to the discovery of artemisinin. The discovery and development of qinghaosu (artemisinin) as an antimalarial drug is a remarkable and convoluted tale.
