and Dr. Drew Weismann, who leads a laboratory focused on the study of RNA and innate immune system biology,
won the award in 2022 for developing COVID-19 vaccines, only a few months before they were announced as
Nobel Prize laureates in Medicine in 2023. Dr. Chang Yongsheng, renowned for his contributions in the field of

rabies control and prevention of hemorrhagic fever, as well as his study of the genetic makeup of SARS-CoV-2
virus, was honored at the previous edition.

New creators and innovators will certainly be added to the list of MBRKA winners, providing individuals with
broader access to knowledge avenues. This is consistent with the Knowledge Summit 2024 agenda, which
reaffirms Dubai's commitment to advancing sustainable development, while also encouraging leadership and

creativity. The latest edition serves as an open invitation to everyone to work together and strengthen the role of
knowledge and innovation as critical components in shaping the future of the world.
