Karikó and Weissman win the Nobel for the chemical tweak to mRNA that enabled COVID vaccines in less than a year.
“Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman, who together identified a chemical tweak to messenger RNA, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Monday. Their work enabled potent Covid vaccines to be made in less than a year, averting tens of millions of deaths and helping the world recover from the worst pandemic in a century.” [1]
Thank you, Dr. Karikó and Dr. Weissman!
