The 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine was awarded to three researchers by the discovery of how metazoans cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability and respond to these changes. The work of William Kaelin, Gregg Semenza and Peter Ratcliffe about how cells are regulated according to the availability of oxygen allow to develop therapeutic strategies for the treatment of different types of cancer, as well anemia. This award also highlights the contribution that the Peruvian school has made to science for its studies on how organisms can be born, grow and develop under the conditions of hypoxia imposed during life at high altitudes.
