At the beginning of each year, MIT publishes a digest of 10 of the most disruptive technologies of the coming year - the MIT Technology Review. This year the issue has become a jubilee, as the tradition of talking about technologies that will make the lives of millions of people better in the near future dates back to 2001. Let's take a look at each technology separately and determine its benefits together.
1. Messenger RNA (mRNA)
Background: Globally, more than 2 million people have died from covid-19. MRNA vaccines are about 95% effective
Market leaders:
BioNTech
GreenLight Biosciences
Moderna Therapeutics
Pfizer
Strand Therapeutics
Availability: Now
Unlike traditional vaccines, which use live viruses to train the body's immune system, new vaccines use messenger RNA, a short-lived molecule that in our cells transfers copies of genes to where they can direct the production of proteins.
