With this year's Nobel Prize winner announcements beginning on Monday, among those experts believe could be in line for the $1.2 million prizes are GLP-1 researchers, a Ukrainian children's rights activist and several female authors. And after last year's Donald Trump-driven controversy, anticipation around this year's Peace Prize is high.
Monday sees the announcement of the medicine prize, which experts say could go to the scientists behind the development of the GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) drugs – such as Ozempic – which have transformed obesity treatment.
