Weissman Lab wishes everyone a Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience

"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. Watch his Nobel Peace Prize speech: bit.ly/3bJCQuc

Check out our latest collaborative work in @Biomaterials_ with @KaraSpillerLab @HannahGeisler_ @WeissmanLab on a new interleukin-4 mRNA lipid nanoparticle macrophage cell therapy to sustain a pro-reparative phenotype in inflammatory injuries! Open access: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

I talked to @DrPaulOffit, Nobel-winning MRNA inventor @WeissmanLab & CHOP's Charlotte Moser about Philadelphia’s imperiled medical research ecosystem: cityandstatepa.com/policy/20… via @CityAndStatePA @ChildrensPhila @CHOP_Research

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 @WeissmanLab

Calling all BGS alumni - come celebrate 40 years of BGS with us this fall, as we bring together alumni, students, and faculty to revisit where we've been and make new, lasting connections. We can't wait to welcome you back to campus! Register here: pennmed.events.alumniq.com/g…

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.

RNA chemistry and therapeutics, an exciting and impactful review article in collaboration with Dr. Drew Weissman! @WeissmanLab nature.com/articles/s41573-0… rdcu.be/ewb32
