“An RNA world, in which RNA took on the tasks of DNA and proteins, might have preceded the DNA-based life we know today.” Read about the multifaceted functions of RNA in this month’s newsletter: laskerfoundation.org/rnas-extreme-m…
Congratulations to Joan Steitz on receiving the Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Centennial Medal! " It is the highest honor GSAS bestows, and awardees include some of Harvard’s most accomplished alumni." mbb.yale.edu/news/congratul…
@NobelPrize winner Thomas Cech's recent essay in the @nytimes highlights #RNA as the molecule set to redefine the future of science. While DNA has historically dominated research, RNA is emerging as a cornerstone for new scientific breakthroughs. In the essay, Cech recounts his discovery of RNA's catalytic power, emphasizing its roles beyond genetic information storage, such as enzyme activity and chromosome protection. RNA's versatility has led to innovative therapies, including #mRNA vaccines and treatments for spinal muscular atrophy and cancers. Cech sums up the opportunity by saying, "The age of RNA is just getting started." 🔗 Read the full essay here: nytimes.com/2024/05/29/opi… We are honored to have Thomas Cech as an External Advisor at the Science Philanthropy Alliance, where he continues to inspire and guide our mission to advance scientific discovery through visionary philanthropy. #science #philanthropy
We're all proud of Steitz lab member, Moreen Ng, who presented at the @MCDB_Yale undergraduate poster symposium.
🥳 Woohoo! Congratulations Moreen! 🎉
MCDB Major Moreen Ng Awarded the Tom & Joan Steitz RNA Fellowship. To learn more about Moreen's winning essay, visit: medicine.yale.edu/rnacenter/joan… Congratulations Moreen!
“She had the dedication to grow a field that seemed initially to be of secondary importance.” Discover how #LaskerLaureate Joan Steitz opened up the field of #RNAbiology in our latest newsletter: ow.ly/7l3150QynQ1 @SteitzLab @YaleRNA @YaleMed #WomenInSTEM
