Nobel winner cites curiosity as key to pursuing basic research
Tasuku Honjo expresses gratitude after being named as co-winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine at an Oct. 1 news conference.
KYOTO--Tasuku Honjo credits his lifelong natural curiosity for his achievements that were capped with being named Oct. 1 co-winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Honjo, 76, held a news conference at Kyoto University, where he is a distinguished professor, following an announcement in Stockholm he would share the prestigious award with James Allison of the MD Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas.
Honjo said that curiosity and not hastily believing something must be true were always in the back of his mind while doing research.
"I think it is important to continue until one can confirm the results with one's own eyes," Honjo said. "One has to think for oneself and pursue the research until one is satisfied."
