A series of bispecific antibodies acts as a “guidance system” that improves the safety and specificity of the doxorubicin derivative #caelyx against high-risk #leukemia in mice, and may facilitate the translation of liposomal drugs. @KidsCancerInst @MK_CCI scim.ag/2H3

A very innovative approach! NSW is establishing a RNA investment fund for accelerating RNA research to commercialisation. The fund will invest & work with both University and private sector to boost the local RNA ecosystem. A growth opportunity for @UNSWRNA & other #RNA research! – at Bowral - Mittagong, New South Wales
Market interest is sought for the establishment of an RNA Investment Fund, which will focus on securing investment for RNA technologies and therapeutics through to commercialisation. Interested potential stakeholders should register here: chiefscientist.nsw.gov.au/fu…

John Mattick concludes with "This is the century of RNA" ! I couldn't agree more and everyone at the @UNSWRNA and the broader #ozrna community! #mRNA #RNA – at Melbourne, Victoria
Our very own @UNSWRNA @UNSWBABS @UNSWScience @UNSW is giving the opening address at the @moderna_tx AIMS in Melb. We got a fantastic turnout from the #ozrna community including the Aust RNA Production Consortium (ARPC), several @UNSWRNA members + other Australian RNA stars here.

When I first wrote biological chemistry / supramolecular lectures in 2019 I only had one Nobel Prize photo in my slide deck ( @francesarnold see below). Then I added Doubna & Carpentier in 2020. Now, I need to update the slide before Arnold's one with @CarolynBertozzi ! #ozchem
