Scientists who developed mRNA Covid vaccines awarded the Nobel Prize

Two scientists, Dr Katalin Kariko and Dr Drew Weissman, have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their pioneering work in developing mRNA technology, which ultimately led to the creation of the highly effective mRNA Covid vaccines. This groundbreaking technology was in its experimental stages before the pandemic hit, but has now been administered to millions of people worldwide, helping to combat the virus. It is worth noting that this mRNA technology is not limited to Covid vaccines; researchers are also exploring its potential applications in other diseases, including cancer.
