American Nobel laureate receives Polish citizenship
Victor Ambros says he wants to "help improve the international position of Polish science".
American Nobel laureate Victor Ambros has been granted Polish citizenship by the government of Poland. The award was personally announced to Ambros by Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a phone call. Ambros's father emigrated from Poland after World War Two and settled in the United States, where he raised a family. Victor Ambros, who won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his research on microRNA, expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Tusk and Poles for granting him Polish citizenship.
He hopes that his dual citizenship will honor his father's Polish roots and contribute to improving the international standing of Polish science, particularly in the field of biomedical research.
