“卡里科的故事鼓舞人心” —— 比尔·盖茨

卡塔琳·卡里科出生在共产主义匈牙利，是屠夫的女儿。在一个没有自来水、只有泥土和稻草的单间房子里长大，她看到了无处不在的潜力：种子的希望、肥皂的炼金术、尸体的猩红色。

《突破》讲述了她勇敢决心的非凡故事——首先成为一名科学家，然后解开一种她认为可以彻底改变医学的难以捉摸的分子。其他人不同意，几十年来，她忍受着降职、歧视甚至被驱逐出境的威胁。然而，卡里科坚持不懈，最终做出了改变世界的发现：mRNA 疫苗技术拯救了数百万人的生命，并将永远改变医疗保健。

From butcher's daughter in communist Hungary to winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, this is the story of one woman's extraordinary determination and her breakthrough discovery that saved millions of lives.

'Riveting. A true story of a brilliant biochemist who never gave up or gave in' BONNIE GARMUS

'This remarkable memoir ... is a joy to read' FINANCIAL TIMES

'Karikó's story is an inspiration' BILL GATES

Katalin Karikó began life as a butcher’s daughter in communist Hungary. Raised in a one-room home of clay and straw with no running water, she saw potential everywhere: in the promise of a seed, in the alchemy of soap, in the scarlet of a carcass.

Breaking Through is the extraordinary story of her courageous determination – first to become a scientist, and then to unlock an elusive molecule she believed could revolutionise medicine. Others disagreed, and for decades she endured demotions, discrimination and even threats of deportation. Yet Karikó persevered, ultimately making a world-shifting discovery: the mRNA vaccine technology that saved millions of lives and will transform healthcare forever.

作者简介

Katalin Karikó 是一位生物化学家，2023 年诺贝尔医学奖获得者。她的开创性研究为辉瑞-BioNTech 和 Moderna 的新冠肺炎 mRNA 疫苗奠定了基础，并为治疗癌症、艾滋病毒、疟疾和其他危及生命的疾病铺平了道路。她现在是多所大学的名誉教授，曾获得一百多个奖项，有两本关于她的儿童读物，还有一颗小行星以她的名字命名。她和丈夫贝拉是两届奥运会赛艇冠军苏珊·弗朗西亚的父母。

Katalin Karikó is a biochemist and winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine. Her pioneering research was the foundation of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 and paves the way for a host of treatments for cancer, HIV, malaria and other life-threatening diseases. Now an honorary professor at many universities, she has been awarded over a hundred prizes, had two children’s books have been written about her and a minor planet named after her. She and her husband Béla are the parents of two-time Olympic rowing champion Susan Francia.
