Abstract
Innovative progress depends on the degree of our collective differences. Immigrants bring unique experiences and perspectives that can diversify how we as a community approach problems. There are many successful immigrants in the biomedical research field. The percentage of naturalized citizens in the biomedical workforce has grown from 8% to 18% in just the last decade. Of the Americans who have won Nobel Prizes in Chemistry, Medicine, and Physics, 35% were immigrants. This number may be an underestimate, as it does not include winners who immigrated to America after receiving their prizes, such as Albert Einstein. This trend has accelerated over the years;from 1901 to 1959, nine immigrants to the US won Nobel Prizes in Medicine compared with 29 immigrants from 1960 to 2019. Here, Paczesny discusses the immigrants contributions to biomedical research in all Western countries.
