1. Notable & Quotable: Nobel Prize.
- Abstract
Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman, two scientists from the University of Pennsylvania, have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their work on mRNA technology. Kariko had initially faced challenges in obtaining grants and recognition for her research on using mRNA to create therapeutic proteins. However, her collaboration with Weissman, who was working with Anthony Fauci on developing a vaccine, led to breakthroughs in mRNA technology. This recognition highlights the significant potential of mRNA in the field of biotechnology and its role in the development of vaccines and other medical treatments. [Extracted from the article]
