Die US-Regierung stoppt 22 #mRNA-Impfstoffprojekte im Wert von 500 Mio. Dollar. Ein „riesiger Fehler“, sagt Nobelpreisträgerin Katalin Karikó – und sie hat recht. (1/6)

Zitatbild Patrick Cramer: Die Kürzung der Mittel für die mRNA-Forschung in den USA schwächt nicht nur die globale Pandemievorsorge, sondern auch die Entwicklung von Impfstoffen gegen Krebs und Malaria. Deshalb muss das Thema auf die deutsche Hightech-Agenda.

Maame Ekua Acquah became interested in COVID-19 while helping set up the testing facility in a medical laboratory.

She now studies the host-viral dynamics of the virus, with particular emphasis on rural and urban communities in Ghana.

At EMBL, Maame was based in the group of @kowaeva.bsky.social.
