Francisco J. Esteva, Chief of Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Lenox Hill Hospital, shared on LinkedIn:
“Dr. Katalin Karikó’s groundbreaking work on nucleoside base modifications revolutionized medicine, enabling the development of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19. Her contributions earned her the 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine, shared with Dr. Drew Weissman.
Meeting Katalin Karikó at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Double Helix Medals Dinner was inspiring. Her speech reminded us of the power of perseverance and the transformative impact of science on global health.
Thank you, Richard R. Barakat and Richard Carvajal, for inviting me to this event! The partnership between Northwell Health and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is such an exciting opportunity to combine top-notch research with outstanding patient care.
Let’s keep supporting the incredible research that’s changing lives. What exciting breakthroughs or collaborations have inspired you lately? Drop your thoughts below! ”
