Associate Director at Orbital Tx, Penn State @phil_bevilacqua lab and @Mizzou @BurkelabRNA alum pubs: goo.gl/wZU6MA Tweets are mine #RNA🇳🇵✈️🇺🇸

Barriers to knowledge should be minimal throughout the world. Spendin the Sat. morning with #MIT course. #SystemsBio http://t.co/5op8oKftmA

If your work involves the repurposing of natural and artificial functional nucleic acids in biological systems, we’d love to have you at Astrobiology Science Conference May 2024 in Providence, RI.

Amazing time for @phil_bevilacqua lab alums. Lab's work on RNA-structure-PKR functions will only be more and more relevant as we try to develop newer versions of mRNA-based medicines. #benchtobedside
Philip Bevilacqua, #PennState Eberly College of Science chemistry department head and Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, co-authored one of the three key publications that were cited in this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Tried whole plasmid sequencing with @PrimordiumLabs . Impressive turnaround time, submitted around 4p-- results were in my inbox early morning. Will be eagerly waiting for the next rnds of developments to address the homopolymers :)

Keeping my distance from 'X' these days. Hence the silence. What alternative social media platforms are ppl using these days? What makes it 'better' (apart from absence of the distasteful parts of 'X')?

This is clever looking forward to reading! #mRNAtx
RNA instability is an important problem for RNA therapies - check out our new paper on a simple solution: temporarily block 2'-OH groups rdcu.be/dfpLb

Looking forward to sharing my experience from Academia to the Biotech industry. GRC Nucleic Acids is one of my favorites.
The program for the 2023 GRS Nucleic Acids is out! It's going to be a treat for DNA/RNA aficionados! Still 9 days left to apply for Poster presentations! We also have a fantastic career panel discussion including @KrishnanYamuna and @TheJoyofScience! grc.org/nucleic-acids-grs-co…

A lil career update, I recently joined Orbital Tx, as Associate Director- leading Process Development and Analytical Sciences team. Lots of challenges still around design/build/test, my grp will be looking to focus on the build part to enable new modalities around mRNA Tx.

A KILOGRAM of mRNA. At full GMP. An expletive KILOGRAM. #yeswecan #healthjustice PS. Pfizer CMC people are superheroes. Moderna same.

🚨ATTENTION! A small asteroid is expected to safely impact the French-English channel in ~4 hours time, 03:00:03 UT tomorrow. Object size is around ~1 meter and should appear as bright as the Moon momentarily as it enters the atmosphere. Approx visibility circle posted below. 1/

Highly recommended for grad students who are early in their degree programs. It can be overwhelming to present talks and network- while you are new in the field. I found this conference to be extremely helpful to build my network with peers and ease my nerves while giving talks
We are excited to announce that AbGradCon2023 will be hosted at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, CA, on May 22nd-25th! 🧑‍🚀🌔🌴 Applications are now open until March 15th. Conference details can be found at abgradcon.org #abgradcon2023 #astro4life

SELEX for functional nucleic acids is another (one my favorite). First wave of synthetic ribozymes, deoxyribozymes, and aptamers out from Gold, Joyce, Szostak labs around similar time.
Many big scientific discoveries are races. Consider splicing - co-discovered by Sharp & Roberts, with many others close behind. Erase one and the discovery still happens within months. What breaks this pattern? “If not for X, it would have been decades before Y was discovered.”

This is a great thread on academia ➡️ industry transition. Roles can be very different— some discovery driven ones are close to academic research. Others not so much, important to know beforehand. The corporate jargons are definitely real. I keep “circling back” to them.
Wrapping up my first month in industry after nearly a decade in academia.. Here are my thoughts:

Hey SciTwitter, we are planning on doing some bulk RNA seq in my group (my first time). Any good protocols for first a timer would be great! Bonus points for in-house ones. #ngs

It’s been a minute since a bunch of wonderful ppl on Twitterverse shared their TwitterWisdom on RTs for doing selections with structured RNAs. We finally completed a systematic comparison and we have a winner… 🥁 🥁 🥁 <MS in Prep> (Submission early Feb?)
