17 10. At 5: 45pm on April 4th, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 20 17 was announced. Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson, three scientists from Switzerland, the United States and Britain, won the prize for "developing a low-temperature microscope for high-resolution determination of the structure of biomolecules in solution". The three people will share the prize of 9 million Swedish kronor equally.

Jacques Bo Du Chet, 1942 was born in aigler. From 65438 to 0973, he received his doctorate from Geneva University and university of basel. He is now an honorary professor of biophysics at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland.

Joachim Frank was born in Siegen, Germany on 1940. From 65438 to 0970, he received his doctorate in technical university of munich. He is currently a professor of biochemistry, molecular biophysics and biological sciences at Columbia University.

Richard Henderson, 1945 was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. 1969 received a doctorate from Cambridge University, England. Now he is the project director of MRC molecular biology laboratory in Britain.

The 20 17 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson in recognition of their contributions to the development of cryoelectron microscopy, which simplified and improved the development of biomolecular imaging and brought biochemistry into a new era.
