Answers:

The category is "Physiology and Medicine". In 1901 Emil A. von Behring of Germany received the prize.
Emil Adolf von Behring, Germany, Marburg University, Marburg, Germany
(Born on 1854 and died on 1917)
Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine 1901 was awarded "for his work on serum therapy, especially its application against diphtheria, by which he have opened a new road in the domain of medical science and thereby placed within the hands of the physician a victorious weapon against illness and deaths" Source(s): http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medic…
At the risk of being overly pedantic, I submit it be Emil Behring, in 1901. He didn't become von Behring until 1903 as a benefice of Kaiser Wilhelm II.
