Cells can shut down their metabolism to block viruses like West Nile. A new Genes & Development study from Wertheim UF Scripps reveals how OAS 3 proteins activate RNase L to halt infection and protect cells. This discovery could help shape future antiviral therapies! 🧬 🔗: innovate.research.ufl.edu/2025/08/07/how…

New paper: Covalent Small-Molecule Targeting of RNA ACS Chem Biol (2015) 🔗 lnkd.in/e8zsfMhg Congrats Yilin, Amir, and Patrick! 🎉 This work is part of our lab’s long-standing effort to use covalent chemistry to drug RNA.

Together, these studies show how covalent chemistry + cellular approaches create a scalable toolkit to validate RNA interactions and uncover new druggable elements across the transcriptome. RNA is druggable—if you have the right tools. 🧬 We will see what teh future holds.
