Nobel laureates by category -- Nobel laureates in Physiology or Medicine
This list of Nobel laureates affiliated with Stanford University comprehensively shows the alumni, faculty members as well as researchers of Stanford University who were awarded the Nobel Prize or the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. The Nobel Prizes, established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, are awarded to individuals who make outstanding contributions in the fields of Chemistry, Literature, Peace, Physics, and Physiology or Medicine. An associated prize, the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (commonly known as the Nobel Prize in Economics), was instituted by Sweden's central bank, Sveriges Riksbank, in 1968 and first awarded in 1969.
, 83 Nobel laureates have been affiliated with Stanford University, and 49 of them are officially listed as Stanford's Nobel Laureates by the university. Among the 83 laureates, 13 are Stanford alumni (graduates and attendees), and 46 have been long-term academic members of the Stanford faculty or Stanford-affiliated research organizations. Subject-wise, 26 laureates have won the Nobel Prize in Physics and in Economics, respectively, more than any other subject. In particular, Linus Pauling is the only Stanford-affiliated Nobel laureate (Professor of Chemistry) who have won two Nobel prizes: he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962; since this is a list of laureates, not prizes, he is counted only once.
