The breakthrough in vaccination: Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2023
摘要
The Nobel Prize of Physiology or Medicine 2023 was awarded jointly to two researchers, Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman, for their discoveries taking part in the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19. The accelerated development of the novel mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccines provided highly effective protection against severe disease or death, and reduction in symptomatic illness, before a full year had passed from the beginning of the pandemic.
