#News: Phase 2B VISUALIZE study results will be presented by @PennMedicine’s Dr. Sunil Singhal at #ASCO25, demonstrating that intraoperative molecular imaging with abenacianine for injection (VGT-309) during lung surgery has the potential to improve surgical outcomes. More: bit.ly/439aILt

In a medical milestone, a customized base editor was developed, characterized in human and mouse cells, tested in mice, studied for safety in non-human primates, cleared by @US_FDA for clinical trial use, manufactured as a complex with an LNP, and dosed into a baby with a severe, rapidly progressing genetic disease... all in an astounding 7 months. Best of all, the infant patient shows apparent benefit. Congratulations to @kiranmusunuru, Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas, and other team members for this heroic and inspiring effort, which has implications for the hundreds of millions of patients that suffer from thousands of genetic diseases. drive.google.com/file/d/1Jfk…

We also show that Coxiella incites the extracellular secretion of lysosomal content in a T4SS-independent manner. A wonderfully enjoyable collaboration with @LauraEM_Lab & @hayleyjnewton labs (with significant mass spec guidance from @Nick_E_Scott!) @TheDohertyInst @UniMelbMDHS

Excited to share this story from my PhD, out today in @NatureComms. We show that Coxiella removes cathepsin B to reduce lysosomal hostility and promote bacterial success. This depends on a vacuole established by effector CvpB. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

We’re thrilled to welcome our 14th Snow Fellow, Dr Alisa Glukhova @gl_alisa, a structural biologist from @WEHI_research. Alisa’s work focusses on how cells communicate and what happens when those signals go wrong, leading to diseases like cancer. snowmedical.org.au

Super proud of Francesca for delivering an excellent final presentation about her 3rd year project in the #LEMLab. Her actual N-terminomics data matched the quality of her cake! Quite a feat!
