- Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discoveries enabling mRNA vaccine development.
- They made key modifications to mRNA to reduce inflammation and enable the immune system to accept it.
- Their research over the past two decades paved the way for rapid creation of highly effective COVID-19 vaccines.
- The flexibility of mRNA vaccines allows quick design for emerging diseases and easier large-scale manufacturing.
- Beyond COVID-19, mRNA vaccines show promise against cancer, HIV, influenza, malaria, and other illnesses.
