  Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman Win 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman have been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine for their ground breaking work on mRNA vaccines. Their research has led to the development of highly effective vaccines against COVID-19, as well as other diseases. Karikó and Weissman began their research on mRNA vaccines in the early 1990s. At the time, mRNA vaccines were considered to be too unstable and toxic to be used in humans. However, Karikó and Weissman developed a number of modifications to mRNA molecules that made them much safer and more effective. In 2005, Karikó and Weissman published a paper in the journal Nature Medicine that described their work on modified mRNA vaccines.
