F. William Studier in 2004; in the 1980s, Studier and a team of collaborators deciphered key details of the T7 bacteriophage and turned what they learned into a system to produce copious amounts of desired proteins. The production of today's mRNA COVID-19 vaccines relies on these foundational discoveries. Photo courtesy of Brookhaven Lab
