THE NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSIOLOGY OR MEDICINE 2023


THEY CONTRIBUTED TO AN UNPRECEDENTED RATE OF VACCINE DEVELOPMENT

The discoveries by the two Nobel Prize laureates were critical for developing
effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 during the pandemic that began in early
2020. Through their groundbreaking findings, which have fundamentally changed
our understanding of how mRNA interacts with our immune system, the laureates
contributed to the unprecedented rate of vaccine development during one of the
greatest threats to human health in modern times.

says in this conversation with the Adam Smith, “so usually around 3 to 5am we
would be emailing each other with new ideas.”
