Mapping vulnerabilities in the SARS-CoV-2 genome, made of RNA, reveals a path to fighting more than COVID-19.
A Parkinson's disease project from the lab of chemist Matthew D. Disney, Ph.D., has received a boost from a nonprofit focused on helping scientists translate their discoveries into treatments.
Molecular biologist Ezgi Hacisuleyman, Ph.D., investigates how neurons respond to signals, changing in milliseconds. She recently joined the institute from The Rockefeller University.
A new discovery from the lab of chemist Matthew Disney, Ph.D., takes its inspiration from Greek mythology. The compound is a chimera, and it battles a toxic cause of Parkinson's in two ways.
The scientists’ approach directs cells’ recycling enzymes to cancer genes’ RNA and cuts up key segments to prevent them from doing harm. The tactic worked against the MYC cancer gene, and also two other challenging cancer genes.
Matthew Disney, Ph.D. has been named the first Institute Professor of The Wertheim UF Scripps Institute. Disney invented a search-and-destroy system for incurable diseases that targets RNA.
