"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.

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

Robert F. Kennedy Jr announced that the US federal government is terminating US$500 million worth of grants for mRNA vaccine research.
We must never, ever, forget that millions are alive today, or in better health, because of this life-saving technology.

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.

🏆 Being a former #BIALAwardinBiomedicine winning author, and a Nobel Prize winner, Drew Weissman, from @WeissmanLab, recognises the importance of this award, leaving some considerations for those who can nominate:
✅ Identify an important work,
✅ With relevance to the field of #Biomedicine,
✅ But most importantly, value its potential to affect future research and developments.
Nominations for the BIAL Awardin Biomedicine 2025 are open until June 30 👉 bit.ly/BF_BAB

Excellent, informative interview with Dr. Drew Weissman, who won the 2023 Nobel prize for his work on mRNA. He addresses much of the misinformation surrounding mRNA vaccines on this podcast.
