Warburg Did Not Receive Nobel Prize For Cancer Work.
"German scientist Otto H. Warburg's theory on the origin of
cancer earned him the Nobel Prize in 1931, but the biochemical basis for his
theory remained elusive."
The above quoted statement from the article incorrectly states that
Otto Warburg, M.D., Ph.D. received the 1931 Nobel Prize for the cancer work. In
fact, he was nominated for the 1926 Nobel prize in medicine and physiology for
the cancer work and to share the prize with Fibiger (Danish), but instead the
committee gave that prize to Fibiger although that work was later proved to be
incorrect.
Warburg was awarded the 1931 prize, not for the cancer work, but for
his work on cell respiration. He was again nominated in 1944 for again
different work but Hitler's decree prevented that one from being awarded. He
was never awarded more than one Nobel prize, the one in 1931, and that was not
for the cancer work.
A number of books and articles also incorrectly state he was awarded
two Nobel Prizes. However, he was nominated for 3 Nobel prizes in medicine and
physiology for three different pieces of work.
He was a genius level scientist.
