BioNTech, a company founded by Dr. Sahin and his wife Dr. Özelm Türeci, develops messenger RNA technology.
Two years ago, Dr. Sahin said at a conference in Berlin that he’ll be able to use messenger RNA technology to quickly develop a vaccine in a case of global pandemic.
BioNTech was then focused on cancer treatments and coronavirus didn’t exist at that time.
After identifying several promising vaccine candidates, the company needed help to rapidly test them and bring them to the market.
In March 2020, BioNTech and Pfizer who already worked together in the past, agreed to collaborate on a Covid-19 vaccine.
Before the pandemic, BioNTech was already successful and raised hundreds of millions of dollars.
However, the billionaire couple live a very simple life, in a modest apartment with their daughter and ride a bicycle to work.
They are spoken of very humble people who’re dedicated to the science and who don’t care at all about the money.
They celebrated the vaccine success by brewing Turkish tea at home.
