Shot of Hope: An Inside Look at Pfizer’s Covid Vaccine
Shot of Hope: An Inside Look at Pfizer’s Covid Vaccine

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/video-gallery/shot-of-hope-an-inside-look-at-pfizer-s-covid-vaccine/

Mar 23, 2021... How did scientists develop an effective vaccine for Covid-19 in less than a year? In this webinar, the American Committee welcomed Dr. Mikael Dolsten, Chief Scientific Officer and President, Worldwide Research, Development, and Medical at Pfizer. In conversation with former American Committee President and renowned AIDS researcher Dr. Jay Levy, Dr. Dolsten shed light on the breakthroughs that enabled his team, in collaboration with researchers around the world, to produce a viable vaccine at such an extraordinary speed. He also shared his own scientific journey, including the transformative semester he spent at the Weizmann Institute as a PhD student. During a dynamic Q&A led by CEO Dave Doneson, Dr. Dolsten discussed the role of basic science in advancing lifesaving technologies and treatments.

Could One Shot Kill the Flu?
Could One Shot Kill the Flu?

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/in-the-news/could-one-shot-kill-the-flu/

Nov 22, 2021... Renowned Weizmann scientist, Prof. Ruth Arnon, recently spoke to the New Yorker Magazine about a universal flu vaccine. Arnon joined the Institute in 1960 and has devoted her career to pioneering groundbreaking medications and vaccines. As Chair of BiondVax’s Scientific Advisory Board—an Israeli biopharmaceutical company developing a universal flu vaccine—and as the Paul Ehrlich Chair in Immunochemistry at the Weizmann, she is globally recognized as a leading expert in her field. Few scientists working today have the decades of rich experience Arnon still brings to the table.

Breakthroughs of the Year
Breakthroughs of the Year

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/in-the-news/2022-breakthroughs-of-the-year/

Dec 08, 2022... Today, The Atlantic reveals its inaugural 10 Breakthroughs of the Year. The accomplishments span every station of life, from birth to death, and every component, from our cells to the stars. They include a drug that revives the organs of dead animals; an embryo created without sperm or egg; a telescope to see the universe’s first moments; and an AI that conjures award-winning art.
One theme of this year’s list is the principle of “twin ideas”—the tendency for major breakthroughs to have more than one author. The telegraph was invented by Charles Wheatstone and Samuel Morse in the same year, 1837, and patents for the telephone were filed by Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell on the same day in 1876. Accordingly, many of this year’s breakthroughs are group efforts rather than individual awards. We didn’t just get one mind-blowing generative AI app this year; we got several in the span of a few months. We didn’t just get one “unheard-of” cancer breakthrough; we got several in one year. In this golden age of new vaccine technology, many different companies are building off the success of the COVID shots to deliver new antiviral weaponry for humankind.
