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.

SRP-001: redefining pain treatment with a safer, non-opioid analgesic

Drug Target Review

Using the 10X Genomics Chromium platform, we conducted ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing on the midbrain’s PAG region in animals treated with SRP-001, ApAP and a vehicle control, focusing on gene expression changes related to pain processing. He was bestowed the 2024 NIH HEAL Director’s Trailblazer Award for this work.

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.
