We need to make STEM (well, all of society) more inclusive and more equitable.

We are having fun in Kyoto at the 2023 CVBE meeting.  We will host this NIH-sponsored meeting in Houston in 2024! #CardioTwitter #NIHCVBE2023 #bioengineering #Symposium NIH

Innovations in the field of drugging RNA with small molecules—including discovery platforms, lead compounds and even lead disease indications—are tightly guarded. Companies are making very different bets, and it’s far from clear which ones will win out go.nature.com/45ht24c

In Kyoto, at the Cardiovascular Bioengineering 2023 meeting, Li Lai gets the Early Career Investigator Award for her presentation on the role of O-Glycnacylation on Angiogenic transdifferentiation! #CardioTwitter #NIHCVBE2023 #bioengineering #Symposium

Translating basic science into medicine is one of the goals of the Heart Failure Laboratory at Houston Methodist Hospital.  From new diagnostics to a vaccine for the treatment of heart failure…..Watch Us Go! Arvind Bhimaraj KeithY Houston Methodist

🔬 Big shoutout to @HoustonMethodist RNACore for groundbreaking work in RNA manufacturing, with over 300 unique RNA constructs for 100 clients, including novel RNA vaccines, research tools, and RNA drugs.  Speeding RNA ideas from concept to the clinic! #mRNA #ResearchAdvancements

Don't miss this! Catch SRT Board member @Pietercullis deliver the Keynote Friday, June 23 at 2023 RNATx umassmed.edu/RNATx/

A full house at the RNA Therapeutics meeting at the University of Massachusetts to hear the keynote lecture of Dr. Katalin Kariko. Dr. Kariko told the story of her discovery that modified nucleosides were necessary for effective translation of mRNA, making mRNA vaccines possible.

Outstanding paper on the promise of personalized RNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer, showing the benefit of a vaccine-induced immune response in a small cohort of patients. #RNA #CancerResearch pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37165196/

Congratulations to Kristopher Brannan and Gene Yeo’s Lab at UC San Diego on this excellent work now online in Molecular Cell! Use HydRA to determine (at domain-level resolution!) if your protein-of-interest binds RNA. cell.com/molecular-cell… #RNA #research #leadingmedicine

Exciting news from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)! Their faculty-led 3-year research program, backed by an $82M investment from U.S. FDA, is set to revolutionize mRNA manufacturing. news.mit.edu/2023/mit-resea…

In an effort to advance global disease-defense technology, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and our Center for RNA Therapeutics, led by Dr. John P. Cooke, MD, PhD, are teaming up to develop a new circular RNA vaccine platform. spr.ly/6015nkG5P
