[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

"Sooner or later all the people of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace..."

Remembering Martin Luther King Jr., an extraordinary man, who was awarded the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent campaign against racism. He also fought to secure economic justice for people living in poverty.

I talked to @DrPaulOffit, Nobel-winning MRNA inventor @WeissmanLab & CHOP's Charlotte Moser about Philadelphia’s imperiled medical research ecosystem: https://t.co/t5NBFqoVWh via @CityAndStatePA @ChildrensPhila @CHOP_Research

[International Society for Vaccines (ISV) @Int_S_Vaccines]

Dr. Weissman discussed the role of mRNA-LNP for cancer treatment & autoimmunity

He concluded with a call to action: equitable IP access and capacity building for vaccines and therapeutics in LMICs, addressing diseases that disproportionately affect these regions

Robert F. Kennedy Jr announced that the US federal government is terminating US$500 million worth of grants for mRNA vaccine research.

We must never, ever, forget that millions are alive today, or in better health, because of this life-saving technology.

Fewer side-effects, more effectiveness. @MJMitchell_Lab's lab redesigned mRNA lipid nanoparticles using olive oil-inspired chemistry. Adding phenol groups reduces inflammation, making mRNA therapies safer & more effective. "It's a win-win," says Mitchell.
