Far from a mere go-between for DNA and ribosomes, RNA possesses a diversity of form and versatility of function that is virtually unrivaled in biology. What scientists are learning about the single helix is revolutionizing medicine—and our understanding of human genetics.
In Sanford M. Simon’s lab, patients and scientists work side by side to investigate a rare cancer. Their collaboration is resulting in a host of significant discoveries.
“A lot goes into setting the stage. Externally, you have to develop strong relationships with companies and investors, and internally you have to really know your scientists and their science.”
