We have optimized a human in-vitro translation system (HITS) for use in #ribosome research

Our HITS:
🧪requires a minimal number of components
💵is cheap & easy to prepare
💡enables cap-dependent translation
📈is highly active

WIP: zooming around an HIV virion in CellWalk. Imagine this in biology class, it's so cool! 😆

I just got it working and it's not in the app yet (this is the CellWalk dev editor).

The orange capsid contains the genetic information (white).

Thanks ludo for the model.

Excited to share - EcORep! Now you can simply electroporate a PCR product into E. coli and let the linear DNA replicate orthogonally in the cell. EcORep can be used to evolve proteins rapidly and continuously! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Junior scientist struggling w/ grants asked for advice. I agreed to help them out, but also wanted them to see this image.

This image shows the grants that I’ve been involved with going back to 2012. The green dots are the successes, the red dots are failures.

Keep submitting.

A big day today at Strand Therapeutics, as we announce the clearance of our first IND by the US FDA, and look to bring the first #programmable #mRNA therapies to patients early this year.

Emily Mullin wrote up a great feature on Strand and this leap forward!
