Hotez, MD, PhD and his research partner Dr. Maria Elena Bottazzi were recently nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for their work to develop a low-cost COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Hotez is involved in the development of CORBEVAX, which has been dubbed “the world’s vaccine.” It uses traditional recombinant protein based technology that will enable its production at large scales, making it widely accessible to inoculate the global population.
