Meet An Amazing Who Helped Crack The COVID Code

Matthew Meselson, at 91, is a Natural Sciences professor at Harvard University where he has taught since 1960. His was awarded the “Future of Life” award in 2019, which honors individuals whose courageous actions benefit humankind.

He is one of the three scientists who discovered RNA, which in turn, led to the central tenet of molecular biology – that DNA makes RNA makes protein makes life. Professor Meselson’s work was seminal to a ground-breaking approach to vaccines. Namely, the ability to use RNA in the production of the COVID vaccine decades later, which along with the contributions of many other research scientists, made it possible to create the COVID-19 vaccine in record time, an astonishing and much appreciated result.
