An international leader in RNA biology, Drew Weissman, MD, PhD, a professor of medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, will address the graduates of Drexel’s College of Medicine during its commencement ceremony on May 18.
Research by Weissman and researcher Katalin Karikó, PhD, laid the groundwork for the mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 developed by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna. Using the approaches developed by Weissman and Karikó enabled the development and authorization of the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines within nine months; and both vaccines have shown efficacy rates around 95%. Thus far, over 250 million doses of one of these mRNA- based COVID vaccines have been administered in the United States.
