California also took the Nobel prize in medicine. Five Nobel prize winners in science from a single institution in a single year is a world record.


"On Monday, UC San Diego and UCLA alum Frederick J. Ramsdell, along with collaborators in Seattle and Japan, won the Nobel Prize in medicine for identifying the cells that prevent the immune system from attacking the body’s own tissues."

UC wins 5 Nobel Prizes in 3 days — and sets a new world record
