Unravelling the infection enigma: Jean-Laurent Casanova’s pioneering genetic discoveries earn him the 2025 Novo Nordisk Prize

For decades, scientists believed that infections were determined solely by viruses and bacteria. But Professor Jean-Laurent Casanova’s groundbreaking research has revealed a more complex reality: genes play a fundamental role in determining who gets seriously ill and who stays healthy. Because of his pioneering discoveries, he is being honoured and awarded with the 2025 Novo Nordisk Prize.
