Die inspirierenden Memoiren von Katalin Karikó, Nobelpreisträgerin für Medizin 2023, deren jahrzehntelange mRNA-Forschung zu den COVID-19-Impfstoffen führte. Katalin Karikó hat eine ungewöhnliche Reise hinter sich. Als Tochter eines Metzgers im kommunistischen Ungarn der Nachkriegszeit wuchs sie in einem Lehmhaus ohne fließendes Wasser auf. Sie sah die Wunder der Natur überall um sich herum und war bald fest entschlossen, Wissenschaftlerin zu werden.

Katalin Karikó began life as a butcher’s daughter in post-war Communist Hungary. But even as a child she understood two crucial things: for those who can see it, the world is full of fascination and wonder, and whatever challenges she faced, she could overcome them with her boundless appetite for learning. Breaking Through is Karikó’s extraordinary memoir of how she achieved her dream of becoming a scientist, first in Hungary and then in the USA, and pursued her belief – despite so many telling her not to – that an elusive molecule called mRNA could transform our ability to prevent disease.

Katalin Karikó has had an unlikely journey. The daughter of a butcher in postwar communist Hungary, Karikó grew up in an adobe home that lacked running water, and her family grew their own vegetables. She saw the wonders of nature all around her and was determined to become a scientist. That determination eventually brought her to the United States, where she arrived as a postdoctoral fellow in 1985 with $1,200 sewn into her toddler’s teddy bear and a dream to remake medicine.
