After all, the very idea of being an immigrant is to be inclusive at our core to ultimately feel included. And there are SO MANY international and immigrant researchers whose work deserves to be represented at the VIRAL symposium.

Dynamic presentations from Dr. Rong Wang Dr. Rong Wang (Peabody College), and Dr. Srishti Nayak Dr. Srishti Nayak (Music Cognition), Young investigators who both switched careers and showed us how much women of color can accomplish in the academic workforce! I hope to be like them someday!

Thanks for supporting us ansley!! 🥹💕

First in-human trial of an mRNA therapy to treat an inborn error of metabolism (propionic acidemia). Not just one, but two gene products were delivered to hepatocytes (PCCA and PCCB encoding α and β subunits of the deficient protein). Amazing! Koeberl et al. Nature
