How far will messenger RNA take us? Revealed by the Covid pandemic, crowned by the Nobel Prize, RNA vaccines are the fruit of decades of research and commitment strewn with pitfalls and most often in The shadow. Behind the scenes of a scientific revolution, who are the adventurers of messenger RNA?
Let’s go behind the scenes of a scientific revolution, in the footsteps of the adventurers of messenger RNA… And of all the researchers who, against all odds, often in the shadows and sometimes contempt, have worked to understanding of this famous messenger RNA molecule. This molecule allowed 60 years after its discovery by the French Jacob, Monod and lvoff, Nobel Prize winner for medicine in 1965, the exceptionally rapid development of an unexpected vaccine against the virus of the Covid 19 epidemic…
A scientific, medical and human adventure, which was not a long, quiet river but an epic strewn with pitfalls, commitment and discouragement…
With Raphaël Hitier, director, for his documentary The adventurers of RNA Messenger, behind the scenes of a scientific revolution (on Arte until December 5)
Frédéric Martinonresearcher at Inserm (he is the first French researcher to have used a liposome containing an mRNA coding for the influenza virus)
The Nobel Prize in Medicine 2023 was awarded to Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman for their work on messenger RNA behind the first vaccines using this technology
