Always fascinating to hear Amy Kind from @uwsmph talk about the exposome and the data available in the Neighborhood Atlas.

Great to see @BioForward highlighting the growth of the biohealth industry in Wisconsin at their conference today. A couple of quick examples from this morning from Arrowhead and Danaher. #wibiohealth23
Commentary by @lisamjarvis on promising results from small #pancreaticcancer vaccine study led by Memorial Sloan Kettering oncologists who teamed up w/ BioNTech: 1 lesson is that it’s possible to create a mRNA vaccine quickly enough 2 make a difference https://t.co/w3JRvBusMh"Much like Moderna & Merck’s cancer vaccine, which recently generated excitement for its potential to prevent melanoma from returning, these shots are tailored to a patient’s own tumor. Memorial Sloan Kettering researchers sent samples to BioNTech in Germany, where the tumor was analyzed to determine which mutations might elicit a helpful immune response. The recipe for up to 20 of those proteins were encoded in a personalized mRNA vaccine that was mailed back to the oncologists. Technology — inexpensive and rapid genome sequencing, AI, and mRNA — made it possible for patients to get their first doses in about nine weeks after their surgery."

Why has the global rapid test kit supply chain been overwhelmed two years into the pandemic? Poor planning, Omicron and stretched logistics are to blame https://t.co/4DFICQ6Y8k @hannahkuchler@mroliverbarnes@edwardwhitenz
@michael_gilman Congratulations! I’m very excited to see how the programs develop. “Targeted RNA degradation” brings up fond memories of my RNase therapy days.
The clinical + regulatory team got to design & execute a study demonstrating the “overall usability of an at-home SARS-CoV-2 collection kit” & helped improve the Instructions for Use. That’s why this paper – and this team – is special to me.

Short thread about gratitude & research. I’ve been proud of prior publications, but this one is pretty special to me. Rewind to the start of the pandemic, and the cadence of daily life is completely upended. There is nothing we can DO about it. But then…

But could people test at home to avoid spreading the disease? At that point nasal sample self-collection for testing wasn’t a reality, even for flu.But the groups running the Seattle Flu Study were sending kits to homes and getting them back by mail. https://t.co/XAvLyISCiP
This news made me do a double-take.
In a merger of opposites, City of Hope to buy Cancer Treatment Centers of America for $390 million.
With @angRchen.
Yes, City of Hope is buying CTCA.
