Scientist’s Parkinson’s Work Selected for Innovative Drug Development Effort
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.
Fired Up About Neurons: New Investigator Uncovers Brain Cell Biology Molecule by Molecule
Molecular biologist Ezgi Hacisuleyman, Ph.D., investigates how neurons respond to signals, changing in milliseconds. She recently joined the institute from The Rockefeller University.
Inspired by Greek Mythology, This Potential Drug Shows Promise for Vanquishing Parkinson’s RNA in Early Studies
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.
Climbing a New Path Allows Chemists to Ascend Cancer’s Steepest Research Challenge, a Gene Called MYC
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.
First ‘Institute Professor’ of The Wertheim UF Scripps Institute Inventing New Ways to Target Incurable Diseases Via RNA
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.
RNA Symposium Attracts Thought Leaders in Basic and Translational Research to Jupiter, FL
It was the first major scientific conference at the institute since the pandemic began, and so researchers relished the opportunity to share recent work and reconnect.
Symposium Explores RNA and its Therapeutic Potential
