We are pleased to announce The University of Pennsylvania mRNA NFT: Vaccines for a New Era
The historic scientific breakthrough at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania that helped lead the world’s fight against COVID-19 through mRNA-based vaccines is being commemorated through a non-fungible token—a digital asset to be auctioned in July by Christie’s—that will support ongoing research at Penn.
The Stevens Center for Innovation in Finance at the Wharton School would like to thank NYDIG for serving as custodian for any bitcoin proceeds from the auction.
