Growing up in a small Hungarian town, Kati Karikó was curious about everything.As an adult, she channeled her curiosity into her work as a scientist. An mRNA vaccine had never been made before, and she faced frequent criticism and was told by other scientists she would never succeed. After many years of hard work and dedication, she figured out how to use mRNA to make a vaccine--and when a deadly virus called COVID-19 started infecting millions of people, Kati's invention turned out to be exactly what the world needed.
