From being 'forced to retire' to Nobel Prize for medicine: Katalin Karikó recounts journey

Katalin Karikó, the Hungarian scientist who won this year's Nobel Prize for medicine along with her research partner Drew Weissman recalled how 10 years ago she had been forced to retire.

In her first reaction to winning the Nobel Prize for her discoveries about mRNA that contributed to the development of Covid-19 vaccines, Kariko said that she was thrown out of the University of Pennsylvania for 10 years and forced to retire.

She added that 10 years ago she was still doing all her experiments by hand.

The Nobel committee said Kariko and Weissman 'through their groundbreaking findings, which have fundamentally changed our understanding of how mRNA interacts with our immune system, contributed to the unprecedented rate of vaccine development during one of the greatest threats to human health in modern times.'
