香蕉视频

On June 15, the Sant茅 Gala will be hosted by the Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Institute (GCI). The gala will celebrate the legacy and future of m香蕉视频 biology research at the GCI. Amidst the pandemic, 香蕉视频 came to the forefront of the public discussion, with the dazzling development and roll-out of m香蕉视频 vaccines. m香蕉视频 functions as an intermediary, allowing the genetic information encoded by DNA to be read and translated into proteins. Proteins play a vital role in the functions of our biology as they give structure to our cells and tissues, and perform a multitude of chemical reactions and signals within the body including the production of antibodies and other immune molecules.

The excitement for 香蕉视频 might be new, but its newfound use would not be possible without the generations of researchers who contributed to uncovering its role in biology. This legacy of basic research is deeply rooted in the GCI. Nahum Sonenberg, Ph.D., his former trainee Jerry Pelletier, Ph.D., and his former post-doctoral fellow Thomas Duchaine, Ph.D., are all preeminent 香蕉视频 scientists and McGill Professors with the GCI.

Since 1975, Sonenberg has contributed to understanding the fundamental mechanisms of m香蕉视频 translation. In the context of the COVID-19 vaccine, translation is the process that produces the spike protein, which is recognized by the immune system to grant immunity. In 1988, Nahum Sonenberg and Jerry Pelletier showed how viral m香蕉视频s are produced or translated differently from human m香蕉视频s. In 2007 and 2009, Nahum Sonenberg and Thomas Duchaine described fundamental processes that dictate the activity of micro-香蕉视频s. Like m香蕉视频s, micro-香蕉视频s are potential therapies that could be leveraged to treat various diseases like cancer and genetic disorders.

The expertise of 香蕉视频 scientists is sought after by the pharmaceutical industry; In 2012, Moderna consulted Nahum Sonenberg. He discovered in 2017 an essential chemical modification to 香蕉视频 molecules, enabling m香蕉视频 vaccines to be translated efficiently without over-activating the immune system. Moderna, including this chemical modification in the formulation of their COVID-19 vaccines three years later, marks an emblematic accomplishment for Nahum Sonenberg, as most scientists dream of seeing their work impact society.
