Join us UBC School of Biomedical Engineering!

ICYMI “What this means for us is it requires a much lower dose than a normal messenger RNA vaccine. Scaling this up is really advantageous because you’re able to get 100X as many vaccines from the same batch size.” research2reality.com/health-medicin… UBC School of Biomedical Engineering University of British Columbia University of British ColumbiaNews UBC Engineering

The results are in and Vancouver researchers have racked up 85 awards for March, making it back-to-back months with 85 awardees! This month we're highlighting a new Canada Research Chair: Dr. Anna Blakney at UBC School of Biomedical Engineering.

So proud of the Canadian Society for Immunology (CSI) and the EDI Committee for letting us examine our historical data and analyze our successes and remaining challenges in EDI: Truly a model for how societies can move the cause forward by being data-driven and open. Kudos to all!

Check out our new review on topical vaccination strategies led by Petya Mu Ting and Suiyang | 廖穗杨 with Manish Sadarangani! Why aren't we administering more vaccines via our immune cell-rich skin?! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We’re honored to be named one of  #Cantor 's exciting private biotechs and to be featured in their Private Company Showcase Series 'Taking mRNA to the Next Level', where we will be discussing our #srRNA platform & its potential across  #infectiousdisease , #oncology & #immunology .

True or false- there is such a thing as too many cherry blossom pictures to have on ones’ phone? 🌸

I recently spoke with BioInsights on the future of lipid nanoparticles for gene delivery. I give an overview of the opportunities that Azane Therapeutics is exploring using ionizable lipids developed Biomedical Engineering @ University of Toronto OFK Lab.
