Congratulations to Hannah for successfully defending her Ph.D. in Chemistry! PhD student Hannah Wayment-Steele has been awarded the Chemical Computing Group excellence award from the American Chemical Society! You can read more about the award here. She will present her work at the ACS national meeting later in 2021. Hannah also spoke recently on work developing computational methods for mRNA stabilization at Schrodinger’s Multiscale Modelling for Biotherapeutics symposium

India is entering into lockdown and there’s hope of developing new mRNA vaccines against emerging regional variants of SARS-CoV-2 like B.1.617. Eterna has launched a design lab to create a superfolder mRNA encoding the “S-2P” spike protein for the B.1.617 variant and raising funds to experimentally test the stability and potency of the top-ranked solutions here at Stanford. Come join us at Eterna.

Our year-long collaboration with Maria Barna’s group and Eterna, which started at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, has resulted in a variety of novel methods and principles for designing stabilized mRNA therapeutics. Our first preprint describing our experimental results is up! Check out this Q&A with Maria Barna and Rhiju Das explaining why and how we did this research.

Programmer position available. Worldwide immunization is bottlenecked by the difficulty of distributing mRNA vaccines, whose poor stability currently requires ultra-deep-freeze storage. Through 2020, my lab, Stanford’s OpenVaccine consortium, the Eterna crowdsourcing project, and Kaggle competitors have developed methods to stabilize these mRNA molecules. We are currently limited by the slow speed of RNA secondary structure modeling and design methods, and seek an extremely fast and detail-oriented programmer to rapidly re-code dynamic programming methods by February 2021. This much-needed code will be made available freely under BSD-3 license for all upcoming research on RNA medicines in academia and industry.
