Katalin Karikó and the mRNA vaccines

Katalin Karikó, honorary doctor, research professor and Alumna of the University of Szeged received numerous prestigious medical prizes for the discovery of specific RNA modification.

She began studying RNA at the University of Szeged and the Szeged Biological Research Centre at a time when it was largely considered uninteresting as a therapeutic molecule, but her dedication over the past three decades helped bringing mRNA vaccines to the world. Her achievements emphasize the importance of basic research.

Albert Szent-Györgyi & Vitamin C Nobel Laureate and one-time Rector of the University of Szeged, Albert Szent-Györgyi received the Nobel Prize in 1937 for his discoveries in connection with the biological combustion process with special reference to vitamin C and the catalysis of fumaric acid. He also recognized that Szeged paprika contained more of the substance hexuronic acid (i.e. vitamin C) than citrus fruits. The University of Szeged is committed to preserving the scientific heritage of Albert Szent-Györgyi.
