Brian Kobilka, a University of Minnesota Duluth alumnus and professor at Stanford University, hugs daughter Megan Kobilka after speaking with reporters at a news conference Wednesday in Stanford, Calif., after winning the Nobel Prize in chemistry. Kobilka and Robert Lefkowitz of Duke University Medical Center won this year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry for studies of protein receptors that let body cells sense and respond to outside signals like danger or the flavor of food. Such studies are key for developing better drugs. (Tony Avelar / Associated Press)
