Leveraging ADCs in precision oncology strategy

Drug Target Review

By identifying proteins that only interact with each other in cancer, but not normal tissues, we can really expand the repertoire of ADC therapeutics beyond monoclonal antibodies developed based solely on RNA expression profiles. His work has been published in many high-impact journals and presented at international oncology meetings.

Battling antibiotic resistance in the lab and the clinic

Broad Institute

He majored in biological chemistry at the University of Chicago and during his junior year, he had a fortuitous meeting with his academic advisor about finding a student research position that would let him dive more deeply into the molecular details of biological systems. A combined MD/PhD program offered both opportunities.

Codon Digest: Hackathon Prize Winners

Codon

A T4 phage can hold 171,000 bases of DNA or other molecules, including proteins and RNA. It uses single-molecule RNA fluorescence to measure mRNAs and fluorescent reporters to measure the proteins. Future Nobel Laureate, Paul Berg, narrated the video, which quickly became a cult classic moment in molecular biology history.
