Pharma spends $2.6B to find a new #antibiotic . Peg Riley says “give me $200, an undergrad, and a couple of weeks”, and she’ll find a reagent that specifically kills any bacterial pathogen. What’s the disconnect? Check out this interview. #precisionmedicine #PMWC20

Worried about COVID-19? The spectrum of a "post-antibiotic era" is far scarier. In this lively conversation at #PMWC20 , Prof. Margaret Riley @UMassScience talked with @kryamamoto about antibiotic resistance and a path forward. #Pharma : are you listening?

Rather than just looking at individual genes, whole genome sequencing analyzes a person's entire genetic information. This could be a game changer not only for an individual, but for our growing knowledge network, which is the basis of precision medicine.

Your gift can ignite discovery and inspire cures

@KBibbinsDomingo @edyong209 Great piece. I wish it would have mentioned that without decades of taxpayer-funded basic science research on seemingly obscure topics such as coronaviruses, T7 RNA polymerase, transfectiion, RNA mods, innate immunity and others, we would not have the vaccine we have today.
