This is so inspiring and motivational full of challenges in her life to hang with science since 16 years old dream.
Katalin Karikó, PhD, is a renowned biochemist and researcher known for her contributions to mRNA technology and the development of COVID-19 vaccines. She specializes in ribonucleic acid (RNA)-mediated mechanisms, particularly in vitro-transcribed messenger RNA (mRNA) for protein therapies.
More than 15 years ago, Karikó and her colleague Drew Weissman discovered a way to modify mRNA and developed a delivery technique using lipid nanoparticles to ensure that mRNA reaches the appropriate part of the body to trigger an immune response against diseases.
In 2023, Karikó and Weissman were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their groundbreaking discoveries in mRNA technology. mRNA was discovered in the early 1960s, and research on its delivery into cells began in the 1970s. Karikó’s work has played a significant role in the development of mRNA vaccines, including the COVID-19 vaccines.

“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.”
Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges. Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her experiments by hand but today she has been awarded the medicine prize for her research on mRNA, which led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines.

The call from Stockholm woke Katalin Karikó at her home outside Philadelphia. Initially in disbelief, in this interview with Adam Smith, recorded soon after she had learnt of the award of the Nobel Prize for discoveries that accelerated the introduction of vaccines for Covid-19, she recalls her journey from Hungary and some of the setbacks on the path to the mRNA vaccines. "10 years ago I was here in October, because I was kicked out and forced to retire!" Her advice is to not to dwell on the problems: "You have to focus on the things you can change."
