SUMMARY:MBL Friday Evening Lecture Series: Rachel Meyers\, Sunrise Bioventures
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re in Woods Hole or halfway around the world\, join us for this venerable MBL lecture series. \nLectures are free and open to the public for in-person and virtual attendance. \n“RNAi Across Scales: From Model Organisms to Clinical Therapies” – Rachel Meyers\, Sunrise Bioventures \nThis talk traces the path from fundamental discovery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) to highlighting the engineering and innovations needed to translate siRNA into a clinical therapeutic. RNA interference (RNAi) emerged from two unexpected observations: the puzzling co-suppression of pigmentation genes in petunias\, and the discovery in C. elegans that double-stranded RNA could trigger potent\, sequence-specific gene silencing. These findings revealed a conserved biological mechanism and launched a new therapeutic modality capable of silencing disease-causing genes with incredible precision. \nRachel Meyers is an entrepreneurial scientist actively involved in the biotech and pharma community. She is a member of the board of directors for Korro Bio\, a nucleic acid therapeutics company focused on RNA editing as well as an Atlas Ventures StealthCo in the nucleic acid therapeutics space. She serves as a scientific advisor to Alnylam Pharmaceuticals\, the pioneer of RNAi therapeutics; Arrakis Therapeutics\, a small-molecule company focused on targeting RNA; and CAMP4 Therapeutics\, a nucleic acid therapeutics company focused on upregulating RNA transcription. Meyers is a founding partner of Sunrise Bioventures\, a nucleic acid accelerator\, and serves as acting CEO at AmyGo Solutions\, a startup focused on early detection in amyloidosis. In addition to other advisory roles across industry and academia\, Meyers serves as a mentor with several local and national biotech entrepreneurial programs. \nNo registration required for in-person attendance. Doors open at 7:30 PM\, lectures start at 8 PM in the Cornelia Clapp Auditorium.
