Bottazzi, the Honduran nominee for the Nobel Prize for her anticovid vaccine for the poor | Society | America Edition

Honduran scientist María Elena Bottazzi was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for an anticovid vaccine for India, which, according to what she tells Efe, is the first for the poor, without patent limitations, low cost and aimed at closing the “gaps of global equity” and to “decolonize”.

The microbiologist says that the understanding of the world that her Latin roots give her was helpful in creating the scientific and social model for which she and her team at the Texas Children’s Hospital (USA) have been proposed for the Nobel.
