Katalin Kariko and Dr. Drew Weissman were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for their work in tweaking the genetic material mRNA to make it more amenable to working in vaccines.

Their discovery led to the first approved mRNA vaccines, targeting the COVID-19 virus, in 2020. And that success is seeding mRNA-based strategies across a number of different conditions, including other infectious diseases as well as cancer.

Kariko’s husband answered the call from Stockholm early in the morning on Oct. 2 at their home in a Philadelphia suburb. She told @nobelprize_org that she initially thought “somebody was just joking.” While she said the conversation involved detailed scientific information that would have been hard to fake, “you never know in these days,” she said.

At the link in bio, learn about the pair's unlikely collaboration that began in an unlikely place.
