From the daughter of a butcher in communist Hungary to the winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, this is the story of one woman's remarkable determination and the groundbreaking discovery that saved millions of lives.
Katalin Karikó began her life as the daughter of a butcher in communist Hungary. Raised in a clay and straw room without running water, she saw possibilities everywhere: in the promise of a seed, in the alchemy of soap, in the red of a slaughtered animal.
"Breaking Through" is the astonishing story of her courageous determination—first to become a scientist and then to unlock an elusive molecule she believed could revolutionize medicine. Others disagreed, and for decades she endured demotions, discrimination, and even threats of deportation. Yet, Karikó persisted, ultimately making a world-changing discovery: the mRNA vaccine technology that saved millions of lives and will transform healthcare forever.
A vividly written, captivating autobiography that will make you laugh, think, and perhaps even rethink the way you see the world.
Pages: 336, Dimensions: 12.9x12.9cm
