Proteins are foundational building blocks of life with a wide range of structures and functions. Until recently, understanding protein shapes - a critical component of understanding and treating diseases - often required months or even years. Thanks to AlphaFold, a concrete example of AI revolutionizing science, protein structure prediction models are no longer the dream, but reality. While the full power of this advance is still being revealed, a key area of opportunity is the study and treatment of rare diseases. Our own Josh Frost, PhD gives us an in-depth look at the potential and promise of this Nobel Prize winning advance. https://bit.ly/4hUGKQL #AI #lifescience #lifescienceresearch

ICYMI, November 10 was World Science Day! As science communicators, we help all kinds of audiences—from researchers to clinicians, patients, and the general public—understand complex scientific concepts. So we're launching a new occasional series focusing our science communication on different types of drugs, aka drug modalities. Welcome to Modality Mondays! You may have heard these mentioned, but perhaps want to know more about how some of the lesser-known approaches work to treat various diseases. These newer drug modalities build on the traditional small molecules and biologics, offering unique mechanisms of action. Their existence opens up new frontiers in drug development, particularly for the treatment of complex and rare diseases, cancer, or genetic disorders where traditional small molecules and biologics may not be sufficient. Up first - antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs)! This nifty modality is made of short, synthetic strands of nucleic acids designed to bind to specific RNA sequences. By binding to mRNA, the ASOs can modulate gene expression, typically by blocking protein translation or altering splicing patterns. We love to explain science! #lifescience #lifesciencecommunications #precisionmedicine

From autonomous cars to autologous cell therapies, there was plenty of excitement at Cell & Gene: Meeting on the Mesa. In this blog, we recap some of the hottest conference trends, including renewed focus on patient access and rare diseases. https://lnkd.in/g87SErD7 #cellandgenetherapy #CGMesa24 #lifesciencemarketing #lifesciencecommunications

The highly competitive nature of the biopharma industry makes differentiation absolutely critical. Telling your origin story, cultivating transparency, and ensuring patient engagement are all ingredients for success. Leveraging the right communication strategies can help companies establish and grow differentiation to build value while developing life-changing therapies. Our own Karen Sharma offers key insights on the role of communications on securing long-term growth and success in this fast-paced industry. https://lnkd.in/g8v3tVUc #lifesciencecommunications #healthcarecommunications #biopharma
