Center for RNA Biomedicine Faculty Share Groundbreaking Insights and Combat Skepticism Surrounding RNA Therapeutics at the 2024 AACR Annual Meeting | | |
|
|
This past week, during the 2024 AACR Annual Meeting, Dr. Mats Ljungman, co-director of the Center for RNA Biomedicine, delivered a talk titled "KLIPP: Precision targeting of cancer with CRISPR," aiming to generate interest in KLIPP, combat stigma and skepticism surrounding RNA therapeutics, and highlight the valuable work conducted by center faculty.
The center was well represented at AACR which also featured talks by center faculty members Dr. Arul Chinnaiyan, Dr. Sunitha Nagrath, Dr. Maria Castro, and Dr. Amanda Garner.
Read more about Dr. Ljungman's talk in this article by Paul Avedesian and check out Anna Megdell's Rogel Recap of the 2024 AACR Annual Meeting.
