In honor of #HispanicHeritageMonth, we were delighted to welcome Harlisa Minaya-Ebai, SHRM-CP’s mother to our office to share the flavors of home-cooked Dominican cuisine. Moments like these remind us of the beauty and diversity of Latinx culture, and we’re proud to celebrate the contributions of our Hispanic and Latinx colleagues.

In our next segment of Understanding Delivery Systems, we're introducing you to the novel liver delivery system created by our team: the GalNAc-LNP. The GalNAc-LNP was initially developed for our VERVE-201 program to address an important challenge with delivery to the liver in people with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), since patients with HoFH do not have LDL receptors on the surface of their liver cells, making standard lipid nanoparticle, or #LNP, delivery ineffective. We believe the GalNAc-LNP provides a best-in-class liver delivery system. Learn more in the video below, and reference our website here for additional information:?https://lnkd.in/dPSdQrnW

Each quarter, our team hosts a poster session to share the cutting-edge research happening here at Verve. These sessions showcase our commitment to continuous learning and growth, and give us a chance to empower Vervians to stay at the forefront of #cardiovascular research.

We recently held an employee-led fireside chat about exploring career development opportunities within the workplace. Special thanks to Vervians Ananda Mishra and Zunera Khan for hosting the event and to our panelists for your insights about navigating new professional paths.

We recently hosted our annual casino-themed happy hour! These moments of camaraderie remind us that great science is often built on great collaboration, and we had a fantastic time playing our favorite games and enjoying our favorite Boston-area foods.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally, affecting people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. At Verve, we’re using innovative #geneediting to tackle heart disease at its source, empowering healthier lives for future generations.

Today we’re commemorating Family Heart Foundation’s #FHAwarenessDay. HeFH, or heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, an inherited disease characterized by extremely high LDL-C levels in the blood, which can lead to #heartattack and/or stroke at an early age. We have designed a single-course treatment that permanently inactivates the PCSK9 gene in the liver to reduce disease-driving LDL-C and prevent HeFH’s potential life-threatening symptoms. It’s important to #KnowFH to catch diagnosis as early as possible and help lower the risk of heart disease. Learn more here:?https://lnkd.in/gmE_ABQ7?
