Two scientists who invented and developed the mRNA technology that led to the production of an mRNA vaccine to combat COVID-19 received the 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine.
Foreign News Agency, October 2, 2023, reports that the Nobel Prize Committee has awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for the year 2023 to Professor Dr. Gotolin Goriko, a Hungarian, and Professor Dr. Drew Wiseman, from the United States, 2 scientists who co-invented and developed the mRNA technology, the precursor technology that led to the production of the mRNA vaccine against COVID-19, which is important for humanity during the cattle epidemic. Vid-19
The Nobel Prize Committee said that the work of Professor Dr. Gorico and Professor Dr. Wiseman developed the vaccine. It is considered something that contributes to the world. Amidst the COVID-19 epidemic crisis It is one of the biggest threats to human health in the world today.
Professor Dr. Gotolin Gorico and Professor Dr. Drew Wiseman, 2023 Nobel Prize winners in medicine.
The award ceremony will be held in Stockholm, Sweden on December 10, 2023, where the two scientists will receive a combined prize money of SEK 10 million. along with a certificate and medals
Professor Dr. Gorico is currently teaching at Segaed University. Hungary while Professor Dr. Wiseman taught at the University of Pennsylvania. United States The two scientists first met at the University of Pennsylvania. in the early 1990s, and joined a research team developing mRNA technology because they saw its potential as a treatment for disease. In 2005, they published an important discovery: that mRNA vaccines could be introduced into the body. efficiently To stimulate the body’s immune system
And later, the mRNA technology vaccine was further developed into a vaccine against the COVID-19 virus. It is produced by Moderna and Pfizer-Biotech. and used to vaccinate millions of people around the world to prevent COVID-19 during the COVID-19 outbreak. After the first outbreak began in Wuhan, China. Since the end of 2019
Currently, mRNA technology is still being developed. For use in treating other diseases such as cancer.
