Researchers across @MassGenBrigham are working to change that by studying how #OvarianCancer develops, identifying opportunities for earlier detection and prevention, and developing more effective treatments. Check out their four projects: bit.ly/4yPyOHU

A study from SMART's antimicrobial resistance research group at @MIT sheds new light on how bacteria use RNA modification to control protein production. This opens new avenues to study bacterial adaptation. 👀 Check it out: bit.ly/4y93Ham

Researchers at @harvardmed and @DanaFarber have found that CDK2 inhibitors reduce resistance to #immunotherapy across a wide range of cancers. 📝 Abstract: bit.ly/4A9K5nU 📰 Press release: bit.ly/4diAUrR

Tien Nguyen at @MCB_Harvard has received an NIH F31 fellowship to investigate how bacteria coordinate the final stages of cell division, research that could uncover new vulnerabilities for future #antibiotics. 🦠 Congratulations! bit.ly/3TOSw7X

New in Immunity: The Sokol Lab finds itch-sensing nerve cells can "remember" past allergens and react more strongly next time, even to unrelated ones. This may help explain why allergies build over time. Read more: ragoninstitute.org/2026/09/s… #Allergies #Immunology #Neuroscience

Scientists at @UMassChan have received $14.7 million from NHLBI to develop new models and gene therapies for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, a chronic, debilitating genetic lung disease that shortens lifespan. 👏 Congratulations to all researchers! bit.ly/4yBny1N

Researchers at @MIT developed implantable nanoantennas that kill brain cancer cells without damaging healthy tissue. 🎯 “This approach significantly reduced tumor growth and extended survival without detectable side effects,” says Dr. Deblina Sarkar: bit.ly/4iyqSWW

Drs. Sandy Elmehrath and Peter Nguyen at the @wyssinstitute worked together to conceptualized the FEMOx project, the newest funded project through ARPA-H. 👶The team will get up to $12M in funding to tackle the rapid detection of fetal oxygen deprivation: bit.ly/4xYJWT7

📢 @harvardmed has recently announced the launch of the Bristol Myers Squibb Collaborative Research Fellowship. This new program will offer HMS postdoctoral fellows cross-training at intersection the of academia and industry. Learn more: bit.ly/4xxJnyq

Dr. Colin Kim at @MCB_Harvard has been recognized with three Early-Career Research Awards. In the Nett Lab, Dr. Kim studies how plants make specialized molecules with medicinal properties. 🌱 Congratulations! bit.ly/3VtWD9Q

I’m excited to join fellow experts and Shirley @leung at @BostonGlobe Media’s Future of Medicine Summit to discuss how cancer vaccines are rewriting the rules of treatment – exploring how personalized mRNA vaccines are moving from moonshot ideas to real clinical trials with real patients and real benefits! Join us on September 15 for a day of thought-provoking conversations about what’s next in healthcare.

CDK2, part of the machinery driving cell division, is often hyperactive in cancer. A new study from Drs. Wucherpfennig and Sicinski at @DanaFarber identifies #CDK2 inhibition as a potential clinical target. 🔬 Abstract: bit.ly/4A9K5nU 🗞️ News: bit.ly/4A9GpTd

🤓 @TuftsUniversity researchers and clinicians work together to stop the spread of #HPV and prevent the cancers it causes. The team—including Drs. Rebecca Perkins, Karl Munger, and Elizabeth White—is diving into the cancer-driving proteins found in HPV: bit.ly/4reXxTB

Six new endowed chairs have been announced by @UMassChan. 🪅 Congratulations to Drs. Jennifer Wang, Samir Malkani, Johanna Seddon, Edwin Boudreaux, David Michael Dosa, and Andrew Tapper! bit.ly/3TqJOwt

Researchers in the Jackson lab at @harvardmed developed a pipeline combining long-read direct RNA sequencing to identify chimeric #mRNA transcripts in macrophages. 🔭 Abstract in Nature: go.nature.com/4gKlQ8w 📰 Press release: bit.ly/4ylX5VR

Meet Dimos Sampatakos, a technician in the Balazs Lab. Born and raised in Greece, he came to the U.S. to study biology and now works on therapeutic approaches to cure HIV. Outside the lab, he rock climbs, watches movies and plays Dungeons & Dragons. #WeAreRagon

A region of the brain called the #striatum is critical for many cognitive and motor functions. Drs. Heiman, @manoliskellis ,& Gabuzda at @MIT made a new atlas of neurons found within the striatum using single-cell RNA sequencing among other techniques: bit.ly/4xE7zjs

🪑 Dr. Erik Sontheimer at @UMassChan has been appointed chair of the RNA Therapeutics Institute. Dr. Sontheimer is a pioneering leader in the field of CRISPR gene editing. Congratulations! bit.ly/46G63RZ

🤯 @broadinstitute researchers have invented “self-reporting” living cells that share their own transcriptomes, allowing for analysis without killing the cells. Press release: bit.ly/4x8R5yT Abstract in @CellCellPress: bit.ly/4AcCkxV
