RESUMEN
Alfred Nobel dedicó su vida a la industria y la investigación como ingeniero, químico y descubridor de la dinamita. Su espíritu pacifista le llevó a emplear su fortuna (33 millones de coronas) en los premios que llevan su nombre. En 1901 se otorgó el primero a Emil Adolph von Behring, por el descubrimiento del suero antidiftérico. Desde entonces se ha concedido anualmente, salvo en los años de guerras mundiales (1914-1918 y 1939-1945 respectivamente). Los descubrimientos de Alfred Nobel estaban orientados a mejorar las comunicaciones ferrocarriles, puertos, túneles, puentes y otras vías; pero él nunca imaginó que sus inventos se utilizarían con fines bélicos y homicidas. Han transcurrido 121 años desde su muerte y su nombre es conocido en todo el mundo gracias a los premios por él instaurados. Respecto a la medicina, hasta hoy, han sido 208 investigadores los laureados, término que la Fundación Nobel gusta emplear
ABSTRACT
Alfred Nobel devoted his life to the industry and research as an engineer, chemist, and was the discoverer of dynamite. His pacifist spirit led him to devote his fortune (33 million Swedish Kroner) to the awards that bear his name. The first Prize was awarded to Emil Adolph von Behring in recognition of his studies on diphtheria. Since then, the prize has been given annually, except during the first (1914-1918) and second World Wars (1939-1945), respectively. His findings were aimed at improving terrestrial communications such as railways, seaports, dams, tunnels, bridges, and other road networks. However, he never thought his discoveries would be used for military purposes. As 121 years have elapsed since this important "Maecenas", whose name has spread across the world. As regards medicine, there are currently 208 Nobel Laureates, a term used by the Nobel Foundation
