Nobelova nagrada za medicinu

Mađarska naučnica Katalin Karikó i američki kolega Drew Weissman dobitnici su Nobelove nagrade za medicinu 2023. Švedsko tijelo koje dodjeljuje nagrade kaže da su njih dvoje značajno doprinijeli neviđenoj stopi razvoja mrna vakcine tokom jedne od najvećih prijetnji čovječanstvu u modernom vremenu. Upoznali su se prije dvadesetak godina kod kopir-aparata na Univerzitetu u Pensilvaniji.
