Sorry but all the Laurets mentioned either received the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology or the Noble Prize for Chemistry. The fact that many of the researchers were working in areas that were not specifically associated with Chemistry or with Physiology and Medicine simply highlights how the criteria have been stretched to accomodate the achievements in Biology for which there is no specific Nobel prize. The use of the Medicine and Physiology prize in this fashion is similar to the use made of the prize for Physics and the prize for Economics, both of which have been awarded to Mathematicians as there is no Nobel Prize for Mathematics. There are various rumours for Nobel not including an award for Mathematics or Biology. The gossip about the absence of a biology award is that the Noble hated the most emminent biologist of the time, however the most likely explanation is that Biology in its own right was a young science with Physiology and Medicine seeming to be more important and beneficial to mankind
