Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman developed the technology which led to Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines.

    So glad BioNTech picked her up and saw the potential in their research. Good to see that it payed off so well and I hope their continuing plans to fight cancer with the technology is met with success.
