A little Université McGill reunion tonight on OTS-eve! And meeting new friends! Ready for day one of #OTSPhoenix tomorrow.

Thank you AnnemiekeAartsma-Rus! Just the sugar rush we needed to get pumped for this first session of #OTS2022 Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society

The Educational Workshop was the perfect preface to the rest of the meeting. From foundations of RNA therapeutics all the way to toxicology considerations. Great session organized by Maja Janas and AnnemiekeAartsma-Rus Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society #OTS2022

The Canada 🇨🇦- Netherlands 🇳🇱 Trade ⁦ - a traditional Stroopwofles and Maple 🍁 Leaf Cookies exchange ⁦Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society⁩ meetings. #ots2022 ⁦AnnemiekeAartsma-Rus⁩

Co-chairs Hassan Fakih, Ph.D. and chantalmarie kick off a fantastic Next-Gen session with inspiring talks from Ken Yamada (RNA Therapeutics Institute) and Anna Perdrix (Sixfold bioscience) on their history and career progression. Looking forward to the upcoming short talks. #OTS22

Go Dan, go! Dan O'Reilly enlightening the crowd on the the effects of silencing MSH3 on blocking CAG repeat expansions in HD! (did I get that right? 🤨) #OTS22 Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society Masad J. Damha

Such an honour to be a part of this amazing group of Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society Trainee Reps, and finally meeting everyone in person. Lots of fun at the Early Career Scientists social event tonight! #OTS22

Wow! What an impressive chemistry session this morning at #OTS22. Fantastic line-up Masad J. Damha! Updates from Mano (GNA, TNA, PS chirality), Phil Baran (P(V)-chemistry), and Jean-Paul Desaulniers (F4-azo’s in siRNA) honouring Har Gobind Khorana. Next up, student talks! Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society

So fortunate to have worked with someone as passionate about his research as Dan is. The most well-deserved award in patient advocacy. Very excited to see where his research takes him in the future Dan O'Reilly Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society #OTS22

Congratulations Ronald Buijsen on your Alan Gewirtz Memorial Award!Thanks for sharing your work on ASOs in the brain with us! #OTS22 Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society

Thank you Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society for such a good meeting #OTS22. I learnt a lot, met old and new friends, and obviously... I can't wait for the next one 🚀🇪🇸 ! 💪

Thank you Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society organizing committee and volunteers for a wonderful #OTS22 experience! Seems like we had to make up for two years of missed wrap parties last night 😆 can’t wait for OTS 2023 in Barcelona!

Fall is in full swing here in Indy 🍂🍁

Congratulations Roberto El Khoury - I feel very privileged to have been able to work with you all these past years - you always wear a smile, and are so kind to everyone ⁦around you⁩. We will dearly miss you the Damha Research Group and Luedtke labs! We wish you the best!

Officially Dr. El-Khoury! It has been an incredible journey and I couldn’t have gotten through it without the support of my supervisor Masad J. Damha, my awesome labmates Damha Research Group, my collaborators, my friends, and my family. Looking forward to a career in the nucleic acids field!👨‍🔬

Congratulations Roberto El Khoury!!! My newest doctor pal!! An amazing thesis and beautifully delivered presentation. So proud of you! 🧬🧑🏻‍🔬

Prof. Masad Damha (McGill Chemistry) recently received $50,000 USD from the ACS Green Chemistry Institute to build on his MSSI-funded research into reducing the environmental impact of oligonucleotide synthesis using mechanochemistry. Read more: mcgill.ca/x/3Po Masad J. Damha James D. Thorpe
