2024 Merkin Prize in Biomedical Technology awarded to F. William Studier for T7 Technology
Description: F. William Studier of Brookhaven National Laboratory has won the 2024 Richard N. Merkin Prize in Biomedical Technology for his development of an efficient, scalable method of producing RNA and proteins in the laboratory. His T7 expression technology can be used to make large quantities of nearly any RNA or protein. It has been a mainstay of biomedical research and pharmaceutical production for decades, and continues to be essential today. The approach has been used to produce numerous therapeutics, diagnostics, and vaccines - including the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines credited with saving millions of lives.
