YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Two scientists won the Nobel Prize in medicine for research that laid the groundwork for some of the best-selling medicines of all time: the messenger-RNA vaccines against Covid-19.

Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman’s work helped pioneer the technology that enabled Moderna Inc. and the Pfizer Inc.-BioNTech SE partnership to swiftly develop shots. The vaccines have been given to hundreds of millions of people around the world, a key step toward easing the coronavirus pandemic.

Kariko and Weissman will share the 11 million-krona ($1 million) award, the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm said in a statement Monday.
