Victor R. Ambros is a renowned geneticist and a molecular biologist. In 1993, he discovered microRNAs—small RNA molecules that regulate gene expression—in C. elegans. His research later contributed to defining the role of microRNAs in gene regulation in other organisms including humans. In 2024, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with his colleague Gary B. Ruvkun. On February 7, 2025, the Chey Institute invited him to speak in front of an audience of high school, undergraduate, and graduate students who love and pursue science. In his talk, he explained the mechanism of scientific studies and stressed how crucial it is to stay curious and motivated to discover new mysteries using the tools given by science. Later, he spent time with the students to answer questions and exchange perspectives. Rosalind C. Lee, his wife and an important contributor to the research that led to the Nobel Prize, accompanied him in the conference.
