The @moderna_tx phase 1 results are in🚨 🚨... Groundbreaking science in record time!! Interested to see what the new m-RNA delivery platform will mean for the future of #vaccines
Two inoculations with a new SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-based vaccine that encodes a protein in the coronavirus spike elicited high titers of virus-neutralizing antibody in healthy adult volunteers. Virus-specific T-cell responses were also elicited. #COVID19#SARSCoV2
What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat.
Two simple demos:
First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.
First-year medical student and @dublinjeromehs alum Tommy Scott is visiting Biomedical Academy students at @DCSEmerald today to discuss anatomy, including providing examples of brain and lung tissue. Hands-on, real-world learning. #theDublinDifference
The 340 B program was intended for vulnerable and underserved patients, but now appears to be a stable source of income for hospitals. Will be important to consider when determining the cost effectiveness of physician delivered medicines.
@phrma reports that 289 gene therapies in development. After a decade in the ER, exciting for me to think about treatments on the horizon for #sicklecell, #cancer, #hemophilia, other serious diseases. Read my quotes in the link. #GoBOLDLY https://t.co/GaAZ8j6Coa
Really enjoyed the opportunity to attend meetings with #BioPharma researchers and members of Congress as part of the @PhRMA#GoBOLDLY researcher fly-in!
My time at UA? Something I'll cherish forever. I've had the chance to push boundaries on what I thought possible for myself thanks to mentors/teachers/friends. 2018 grads = individuals passionate about making positive change. We're just getting started. -Capstone Man Tommy Scott
