Jointly awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, along with Bruce A. Beutler (b. 1957) and Jules A. Hoffmann (b. 1941), "for his discovery of the dendritic cell and its role in adaptive immunity." Dr. Steinman received the award posthumously.
Jointly awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics along with Arthur Ashkin (b. 1922) and Gérard Mourou (b. 1944) for "for their method of generating high-intensity, ultra-short optical pulses."
Jointly awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Economics along with Joshua Angrist (b. 1960) and Guido Imbens (b. 1963) for their methodological contributions to the analysis of causal relationships.
The 1963 Nobel Prize for Peace was jointly awarded to the International Committee of the Red Cross and the League of Red Cross Societies. Canadian John MacAulay (1895-1978) was head of the ICRC at the time and accepted the prize on behalf of his organization, though the award was not given to him, specifically.
Saul Bellow (1915-2005) won the 1976 Nobel Prize for literature. Whether he counts as a Canadian depends entirely on your definition. He was born in Lachine, Montreal but emigrated to Chicago at age nine and lived the remainder of his life in the United States. It is not uncommon for Canadian Nobel Prize winners to emigrate to the United States at some point in their careers, but Bellow is the only one who did so as a child.
Andrew Waver (b. 1961) and Kirsty Duncan (b. 1966) are two Canadian scientists (and later politicians) who worked for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change prior to it winning the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. At times, they (and other Canadian scientists who worked for the IPCC prior to 2007) have been casually referred to as a “Nobel Prize winning scientists” The UN, however, says no IPCC scientist should be referred to this way, since the 2007 Nobel Prize was awarded to the IPCC as an institution, and not the specific scientists who worked for it.
