In a momentous announcement, the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine has been bestowed upon two outstanding scientists, Professor Katalin Kariko from Hungary and Professor Drew Weissman from the United States. Their groundbreaking achievement revolves around advancing the technology behind mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, such as the ones developed by Moderna and Pfizer. This prestigious recognition comes with a substantial cash prize of approximately one million US dollars. The Nobel Prize Committee commends their pivotal role in crafting a novel approach to vaccine development, particularly during a time when the world faced one of the most challenging pandemics in recent history. Traditionally, vaccines have relied on weakened or inactivated virus components for immunization. However, the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines introduced an innovative method. These vaccines work by utilizing a tiny piece of the virus's genetic material, called messenger RNA (mRNA), to instruct cells to produce a har...
