The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Victor Ambros of UMass Chan Medical School and Gary Ruvkun of Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital for discovering microRNA, the uniquely short RNA molecules that are now understood to control gene expression, helping cells regulate the kinds and amounts of proteins they produce.
The MLSC is proud of its continued partnership with UMass Chan Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and institutions across Massachusetts to accelerate the impact of cutting-edge technologies and supporting groundbreaking ideas in RNA-based medicines and other breakthroughs that can transform lives on a global scale.
