Researchers at Emory University in Atlanta will lead the effort — known as project “CureIt” — using $24 million in new funding from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health.
CureIt’s primary goal is to “create a toolbox of mRNA and related technologies that could be used to “turn on” helpful immune responses, like prompting immune cells to target and attack tumors…” the release states. “A toolbox of mRNA platforms offers the potential to transform the fight against cancer and other difficult diseases.”
At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
