Because our genome is so much more than genes. A must-read for those eager to learn of the intricacies of non-coding sequences, in this case short tandem repeats, that define cell states: https://t.co/4YkbnoIuL6

[Moderna @moderna_tx]

We’re excited to be back as a proud sponsor of the @USOpen! 🎾 Our booth is ready for fan week, located near the Grandstand. Stop by to learn more about the promise and potential of #mRNA to change the future of medicine.

Matrix mineralization is important for bone health but how it regulates metastatic tumor growth was unknown. Siyoung Choi and @Matt_AWhit @CornellBME now found that bone matrix mineralization inhibits tumor growth with an interesting twist!

[Akanksha Verma, PhD @AkankshaVe]

Excellent talks and panel discussion @kochinstitute - cancer vaccines symposium today!

[Iwijn De Vlaminck @IwijnDeVlaminck]

I have exciting news to share - @kanvasbio founded by @haoiseetheworld, @MatthewPCheng and me, has secured pre-series A funding. Congrats to the brilliant team at Kanvas, and huge thanks to our investors, mentors, friends and supporters! @dcvc @CornellBME
