Last week Boston City Councilor John Fitzgerald stopped by to tour our facility and learn about how we’re helping to prevent, detect, and treat infectious diseases. We couldn’t be more proud of the work we do to keep people safe here in Boston and across the nation.

Harnessing #RNA to fight genetic diseases and cancer has been a game changer. Scientists at @BU_Tweets and @neidl want to use RNA to deliver lifesaving drugs and create better vaccines. Instead of using mRNA, they've turned to self-amplifying RNA: bit.ly/3zvNh2Q
