...production techniques to communities in need. John J. Mekalanos, chair of the Harvard Medical School’s Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, developed a cheaper, faster technique for manufacturing conjugate vaccines, which protect against multiple diseases caused by bacteria such as pneumococcus, which can cause everything from ear infections to pneumonia.
