Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise CAMBRIDGE, MA, June 9, 2014 On Friday, June 13, the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT (KI) will host its 13th annual KI Summer Symposium, RNA Biology, Cancer and Therapeutic Implications. This one-day symposium at MITs Kresge Auditorium will focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying RNA-based gene regulation in cancer. Nearly 1,000 cancer researchers, RNA biologists, and clinical oncologists will convene to hear updates on the latest breakthroughs in the creation of RNA-based gene-editing tools and the development and intracellular delivery of RNA-cancer medicines. RNA therapeutics turn genes on and off, which provides the opportunity to treat a host of diseases caused by malfunctioning genes. While the process was initially challenging, promising early clinical results sparked a renaissance of the field and renewed optimism about the impact of RNA therapies. Featured Symposium presenters include: Phillip Sharp, PhD, Institute Professor, Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT. Professor Sharps research interests have centered on the molecular biology of gene expression relevant to cancer and the mechanisms of RNA splicing. His landmark work in 1977 provided the first indications of discontinuous genes in mammalian cells and earned him the … Continue reading →

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) The state board of education has rejected a proposal to change how biology is taught in South Carolina schools. The Post and Courier of Charleston reported that the board met Wednesday to discuss a proposal to require biology students to study arguments for and against evolution. Greenville Sen. Mike Fair recommended the new proposal, saying students should learn other theories. Fair is a member of the Education Oversight Committee, which recommended the new proposal. The board's rejection of the new proposal means that South Carolina will keep the biology standards that have been in effect since 2005. The president of South Carolinians for Science Education, College of Charleston biology professor Rob Dillon, said he is pleased with the board's decision, which he called support for "rigorous" science. ___ Information from: The Post and Courier, http://www.postandcourier.com Go here to see the original: SC education board rejects biology standards … Continue reading →
