Excited to share this work from the Garcia Lab out today in @NatureComms! We engineer "cytokine adaptors", molecular switches that simultaneously block a target cytokine while inducing local activation of alternative cytokine receptors. https://t.co/CYQzioKFmo

More than 2/3 of new medicines are created by biotech and in-licensed by pharma, and nearly every innovative biotech comes from academia. That’s because it takes years and years of sustained and consistent focus and perseverance on a basic biological problem to lead to innovative
