Biotech & nanotech will shape the future - looking for partners who want to help shape the future with us!

Seven months ago, @davidrliu's team introduced "prime editors" – a new type of genome editor that does a “search & replace,” locating the stretch of DNA researchers want to target and trading the old letters for a stretch of new ones: https://t.co/l6BmrD9BXS

Pick-n-mix materials, pretty cool!

Backpacks aren't just good for hauling books: @SMitragotri's lab at the Wyss and @hseas has created disc-shaped "backpack" particles that stick to macrophages and prevent tumors from deactivating them, and reduced tumor size & spread in mice.

Stories like this show why aid is so critical. A few months ago, little Shaima'a was struggling with malnutrition. With fortified foods & contributions from donors like @KSRelief_EN, our @WFPYemen team is able to make sure that children like her have a chance to thrive.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Excellent article from @WFPUSA that breaks down how we classify emergencies – and why #COVID19 is top of the list.

Rewriting the DNA code potentially thousands of times – this is the future a new collaboration between @geochurch’s group at the Wyss Institute and Swiss cell-manipulation nanotech company @Cytosurge is envisioning. https://t.co/XCc2vLktIr

Lucky grandfather! I'm looking forward to joining the ranks of grandfathers in a couple of years.

[Joseph DeSimone @Joseph_DeSimone]

My second granddaughter, Gemma Rae DeSimone, turns one year old today! Gemma makes us all so happy, she’s adorable, funny, inquisitive, loves pillow fights and already knows how to blow out a candle (almost)! Happy birthday Gemma Rae!

@drsanjaygupta as you talk about the virus and its interaction with cells, you could call it "nanobiology" rather than "microbiology" to drive home the point that the virus and its genetic contents are REALLY small. Keep up the great work!!

CENR doctoral student Badria Almurshidi successfully presented her dissertation defense, entitled "Selenium, platinum and cerium oxide nanoparticles’ application to cancer and fibrotic diseases" on March 9
