BREAKING NEWS: The 2022 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Svante Pääbo “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.”

Congrats, Eric J Wagner!

Congrats, Dave! #URochesterResearch

Read here about the exciting research we are doing on #FragileX with the Pröschel lab, Sakano lab, and Telias Lab! #URochesterResearch

It's Alexander Hewko 's birthday celebration-- and an extra spooky birthday cake for Halloween made by RAP Xavier Rambout in the Maquat Lab! #Halloween

Out now! The Maquat Lab paper in Molecular Cell about the #FraglieX protein FMRP, which directly binds PABP and mRNAs to inhibit translation and decay. Congrats to our lead author Tatsuaki Kurosaki, Alexander Hewko and our UTokyo | 東京大学 collaborators!#URochesterResearch

Our next Dean’s Lecture Series event is happening Monday, Dec. 12 and features our very own RNA expert Lynne Maquat, Ph.D. (Maquat Lab). Details here: urmc.info/DS.

Registration for #CSHAsia meeting on the Now and Future of #RNATherapeutics (csh-asia.org/?content/1309) at Awaji 🇯🇵 in June2023 is now opened! Abstracts submission by April 14! #RNA #mRNA #siRNA #antisense #RNAtranslation #Geneediting #liposome #RNADrugs #mRNAvaccines

Congrats, Dr. Maquat!!!! #RNA #URochesterResearch

A big congrats to Lynne Maquat for winning the 2023 Gruber Genetics Prize for her discovery of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) in humans! She shares the prize w/ Allan Jacobson from UMass Chan Medical School 👏👏 #URochesterResearch #GruberPrize The GruberFoundation International Congress of Genetics 2023 Genetics Society of America

Using guide RNA, scientists found a way to make some genetic mutations "invisible." The findings in Molecular Cell are helping the search for treatments for #CysticFibrosis & #neurofibromatosis Read: urmc.info/QA Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Gilbert Family Foundation #URochesterResearch

That’s a wrap of #2023RNASymposium! An event for the books showcasing a long standing collaboration between these amazing RNA scientists from The RNA Institute & Univ of Rochester Medical Center The Berglund Lab Eric J Wagner Belfort Lab Maquat Lab Begley Lab Dave Mathews

New #URochesterResearch in Science Magazine upends the idea that #CRISPR mounts its defense only by cutting RNA/DNA. It found a Cas protein works w/ a membrane protein 👇to stop infection in bacteria. What?? Mitchell O'Connell Arica VanderWal Liz Kellogg ❄️🔬   urmc.info/Vy

Study in nature details a new algorithm to find the most stable, efficient mRNA sequence to use in vaccines. Dave Mathews + Liang Huang show optimal mRNA sequences lead to ⬆️ protein production, improved immune response University of Rochester Oregon State University #URochesterResearch urmc.info/Wa

Cheers to RNA biologist Lynne Maquat for officially receiving the Gruber Genetics Prize International Congress of Genetics 2023 in Australia for her work on nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Proud to have you represent University of Rochester on an international stage! #URochesterResearch Maquat Lab urmc.info/15L

Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman – awarded the 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine – discovered that base-modified mRNA can be used to block activation of inflammatory reactions and increase protein production when mRNA is delivered to cells.

Congrats, Elizabeth!

We’re thrilled to partner w/ University at Albany to form a NYS Center of Excellence in RNA research! Co-led by Maquat Lab @wagnerlab_rna, we'll team up to develop RNA-based therapies & train scientists. Huge thx to Harry B. Bronson for his support #URochesterReesarch urmc.info/1yr
