🧬#D2RProjectSpotlight: Targeting miRNAs in Embryonal Brain Tumors (@mcgillu Prof. Jacek Majewski) This project will study the molecular effects of this genome rearrangement and explore the use of microRNA inhibitors – sponges – to counteract the oncogenic changes buff.ly/309J3d2
Now in @natchem.nature.com: Antibodies dominate drug development—but they’re big, costly, and can trigger immune reactions. #McGill professors Hanadi Sleiman & Maureen McKeague introduce Alenomers: barcoded aptamers with antibody‑level chemical diversity, screenable at massive scale buff.ly/BKKN4zS
🧬#D2RProjectSpotlight: Switchable self-amplifying RNA: Safe, Selective, and Programmable Therapeutic Expression led by Prof. Maureen McKeague with collaborator Prof. Anna Blakney 🔗Learn more here: buff.ly/hlfhhvb
And that's a wrap on Day 1 of the #D2RSymposium2026 🎉 All of today’s sessions highlighted that the research, both within the D2R community and beyond, is full of exciting developments. Stay tuned for even more on Day 2 tomorrow!
