#NobelPrize Laureates Drew Weissman, MD, PhD, and Katalin Kariko, PhD, received their medals this past weekend at the annual Stockholm ceremony. This highest honor was conferred for their development of mRNA vaccines, which helped end the COVID-19 pandemic and have the potential to address countless other diseases in the future.
"This year’s prize is very much in the spirit of Alfred Nobel’s will: a contribution to the greatest benefit of humankind," said Professor Gunilla Karlsson Hedestam, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine.
