BOSTON (UPI)—The three winners of
the 1982 Nobel Prize in Medicine said Mon-
day they were surprised and stunned at
winning the prestigious award. Two
Swedes who were “teacher and pupil” said
they had a special reason to celebrate. The
three all were in Boston for ceremonies at
Harvard University.
“It’s wonderful, there’s no generation
gap in science,” said Sune K. Bergstrom,
66, noting he shared the Nobel with his one-
time protege, Bengt I. Samuelsson, 48.
“You can have no greater satisfaction than
seeing your students successful.”
Samuelsson, who first was taught by
Bergstrom at the age of 24, said winning
the prize with his one-time professor and
longtime research colleague was “a very
pleasant surprise.”
“He’s my mentor and it’s very nice,”
Samuelsson said.
The two Swedish researchers, who share
the $157,000 prize with a British resear-
cher, work in Stockholm’s Karolinska In-
stitute, studying fatty tissues and their ef-
fect on circulation and the body.
The third winner, Briton John R.- Van,
55, of the Wellcome Research Laboratories
in Kent, England, a pharmaceutical firm,
said, “I’m a little stunned.
“I was woken up 20 minutes ago and I’m
trying to absorb it all. I’d like to phone my
family and tell them.”
His specialty also is in prostaglandins,
which he described as “local hormones
which help to modulate the working of the
body.”
The three winners—all in Boston for the
20Gth anniversary ceremonies of the Har-
vard Medical School this week—have col-
laborated in the past and all three won
Albert Lasker Medical Research Awards
in 1977.
Asked if he thought his research on blood
circulation would lead to a Nobel, Van
said, “I don’t think anyone would ever
think that.”
Samuelsson, who first studied under
Bergstrom at the University of Lund in
southern Sweden, said his research is aim-
ed at studying the structure of tissue and
how the “biochemistry of hormones” af-
fects it.
“One area in which we are concerned is
how these substances are involved in aler-
ting or giving a reaction,” he said. “This is
basic research, but you can see the prac-
tical application. We might develop drugs
for the formation of the reaction.”
Asked what he would do with the reward,
he said, “I haven’t thought about it. Of
course, this doesn’t change my scientific
work in any way.”
Berstrom said, “It’s hard to describe the
summary of 35 years of work” in his area
of interest.
“But we study the effect on the body of
saturated acids and what type of com-
pounds are formed and how they work in
the cells.”
He said such compounds can “influence
the specific regulatory functions of the
cell.”
Freshman class
applications due
Applications for freshmen class committee chairpersons
must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. today to 116 Student Af-
