Today is a special day for Relay Therapeutics. The FDA has approved lirafugratinib (brand name LYRFIGTUโ„ข) for patients with FGFR2-driven #cholangiocarcinoma, brought to patients by our commercial partner Elevar Therapeutics following our global out-licensing agreement in 2024. This is the first medicine to emerge from our Dynamoยฎ platform, our approach to studying protein motion with the goal of solving some of the toughest challenges in drug discovery. Relay was founded to make medicines for patients in need, and reaching an approval just 10 years later makes this a landmark validation for our R&D team's approach. Kudos and Yahzu to the dedicated Relayers who worked relentlessly to discover and develop this drug, congratulations to our partners at Elevar, and a sincere thank you to the patients, families, and investigators who have made this accomplishment possible.
Breaking news! The FDA has approved our treatment for patients with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) harboring a FGFR2 fusion or other rearrangement.

Would recommend to anyone looking at grad school opportunities around the interface of engineering and biology. Not sure everyone can say this about their PhD program, but I truly enjoyed my time @MITdeptofBE!
We are accepting applications to join our 2025 PhD cohort at @MITdeptofBE! Learn more about the program, application process, and opportunities for application assistance below. Please share with junior scientists interested in the interface of #biology and #engineering! ๐Ÿงซ๐Ÿงฌ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ”ฌ

Biden is going to deserve a ton of credit if Dems actually win. Seems like an obvious choice from the outside, but not many people at the pinnacle of power actually choose to step out of the way.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And itโ€™s been the best decision Iโ€™ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats โ€” itโ€™s time to come together and beat Trump. Letโ€™s do this.

Well that was depressing. Politically, we are clearly in the bad place.
