Dr. katalin_kariko and Dr. Drew Weissman received the #BreakthroughPrize for their decades of work on #mRNAvaccine technology, which allowed for the rapid development of the pfizerinc and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. While #mRNA vaccines are essential in combatting coronavirus, they also hold promise for future vaccines and treatments for other diseases including cancer, HIV, autoimmune and genetic diseases.
