National Future Day 2024! Yesterday, we brought hearts?and minds?together!??? On Switzerland's National Future Day, boys and girls??????aged 11-14 years old gain hands-on insights into different career opportunities. This special day encourages them to prioritize their interests????and talents over stereotypes when considering their future professions. However, children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds are often excluded from this opportunity. That's where Life Science Cares comes in!???We've established a project platform to bridge this gap, enabling these children to experience Future Day at one of our partner companies in the life sciences industry?????. Yesterday,?35 children?from underprivileged families had the chance to step into the lab and become scientists for a day??????at our partner organizations. A huge thank you to?Molecular Partners,?Wyss Zurich,?cellvie, CDR-Life Inc.,?Numab Therapeutics AG, and?Superlab Suisse?for opening your doors?to these young minds. We are also immensely grateful to our NGO partners —?Caritas Zürich,?Caritas beider Basel, Schule Kirchberg, Schulhaus Aemtler, Schule Richterswil, Schule Thalwil, and Schule Münchenstein?— for maintaining excellent connections with families who truly appreciate such opportunities???.

At the Viney Wallach Foundation, our commitment to supporting Place Based Intermediaries (PBIs) extends to finding impactful partnerships with organizations that are deeply rooted in their communities. One of our most valued connections has been with Life Science Cares Boston, an intermediary with an impressive track record of distributing funding and offering capacity-building support to high-impact nonprofits throughout Greater Boston. By amplifying the efforts of these community-focused organizations, Life Science Cares is helping to reduce poverty. They work relentlessly to support organizations that deliver proven results, making it easier for corporations,Foundations like ours and individuals to invest in effective change. Through Life Science Cares, we were recently introduced to two exceptional organizations that are making a real difference in Boston: New England Culinary Arts Training and Victory Programs. NECAT provides transformative culinary training to individuals seeking stable careers, equipping participants with the skills and certifications needed to succeed in the food industry. By creating pathways to employment, NECAT empowers individuals and strengthens the local economy, aligning perfectly with our Foundation's mission to support meaningful, sustainable job training. Victory Programs, on the other hand, offers essential support to individuals facing homelessness, addiction, and chronic illness. Their holistic approach provides comprehensive services that address both immediate needs and long-term well-being, making a profound difference in the lives of those they serve. We are grateful to Life Science Cares for connecting us with these outstanding organizations and for the nurturing role they play in helping nonprofits like NECAT and Victory Programs expand their impact. Their work exemplifies the power of the intermediary model, where strategic partnerships, resource sharing, and capacity-building come together to drive systemic change. Life Science Cares not only directs critical funds to high-performing organizations but also fosters collaborative environments that strengthen entire communities. At the Viney Wallach Foundation, we are proud to support Life Science Cares as they champion the fight against poverty, and we look forward to seeing NECAT and Victory Programs continue to transform lives in Greater Boston. https://lnkd.in/eAKrnSjV

Exclusive: John Maraganore, the former CEO of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Therapeutics turned biotech elder statesman and venture capitalist, is launching a new startup that he hopes can expand upon his previous company’s success. City Therapeutics wants to deliver treatments to hard-to-reach tissues by using new delivery vehicles and smaller versions of RNA molecules called cleavage inducing tiny RNAs, or “cityRNAs” — hence, the startup’s name. “Alnylam will be, in my view, the indisputable leader in this space for many, many years to come. I think Alnylam will become a $100 billion company up there with Vertex and Regeneron and Gilead and Amgen,” Maraganore said. “I’m a big believer in where Alnylam is going, but RNAi is even bigger than that, and there’s a need for new pioneers in the space. City Therapeutics is my next-generation RNAi play.” How far do you think the RNAi field can go? And what do you think of City Therapeutics' strategy?
