AI can help us to understand the data we’ve collected, and with enough of it, to generalize from them, within reason. In order to probe the limits of current scientific knowledge, however, we need data that we don’t already have https://t.co/qI0r7wwnaZ

In an era of RNA delivery and therapeutics, we sought to “write” RNA molecules directly into messenger RNA to replace disease-causing exons or engineer synthetic proteins Our new work on RESPLICE enables fully programmable and highly efficient (45-90%) transcriptome engineering

President Clinton once asked me, ‘What’s Your Dream?’ I had to pause because no one had ever asked me that before. Then I said, my dream is to do what I did for myself but for millions of people around the world. I want to find new uses for all the drugs in your neighborhood
