About this listen
Dr. Ingmar Hoerr, the visionary scientist and founder of CureVac, is widely regarded as one of the earliest pioneers of mRNA technology. His groundbreaking PhD discovery — that naked mRNA can activate the immune system — laid the scientific foundation for the global mRNA revolution that transformed modern medicine.
In this episode of the Biology Career Insights (BCI) Podcast, we dive deep into Ingmar’s journey of curiosity, conviction, and courage, tracing how a simple lab observation grew into a biotech breakthrough that changed the world.
We explore:
How a lab experiment sparked a global biotech transformation
The challenges of building and scaling CureVac during the early days of mRNA skepticism
What the future holds for RNA therapeutics beyond vaccines
Leadership, resilience, and lessons from a remarkable career in science and entrepreneurship
I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Ingmar Hoerr for sharing his wisdom and experiences on the BCI Podcast.
