Despite the pandemic's ongoing challenges, significant victories have been achieved through the remarkable success of mRNA vaccines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Marathon of The Messenger delves into the history of these mRNA vaccines, blending scientific expertise with historical and economic insights. It emerges that Europe played a pivotal role in the development of these novel vaccines, thanks to the tireless efforts of German and French scientists. This endeavor, which commenced in 1993, continues to this day. In the face of prevailing single-mindedness, these researchers pushed through a new therapeutic concept and defined the biotechnological keys that would unlock the production of therapeutic messenger RNA in the fight against cancer and viral infections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten for a broad audience, this book is accompanied by humorous cartoons, making it accessible and engaging to anyone seeking scientific and historical answers about mRNA vaccines. Readers will not only gain a deep understanding of the technical and scientific aspects of how these vaccines work but also explore the economic levers that were essential in their creation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book was written in collaboration with Dr. Steve Pascolo, former director of CureVac, and RNA messenger expert Professor Chantal Pichon. It also features a preface by Dr. Pierre Meulien, former director of the European Union's public-private partnership Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 364g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 154 x 234 x 16 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783031392993\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jerome Lemonnier,Nicolas Lemonnier","offers":[{"title":"Unspecified","offer_id":44842351427834,"sku":"9783031392993","price":27.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1701454403207_book.jpg?v=1701689301","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-marathon-of-the-messenger-a-history-of-messenger-rna-vaccines-9783031392993","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
