RNAi: a molecular spark in an information inferno - Craig Mello

Nearly 4 billion years ago, an informational fire ignited in Earth’s primordial pools—and it never went out. Molecular life evolved ever-better ways to capture, process, and pass information. Trillions of lineages persisted, each with an internal fire, the genome, constantly capturing molecular sparks from other lineages. Guided-search systems like RNAi channeled and tamed the inferno and ultimately inspired genetic medicines—tiny sparks of life-saving code. Yet life’s logic remains mysterious; many sparks still await discovery. Bring your curiosity (marshmallows optional). Dr. Craig C. Mello received his BSc degree in biochemistry from Brown University in 1982 and received his PhD from Harvard University in 1990. From 1990 to 1994 he conducted postdoctoral research at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Wash. He has been a member of the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School faculty since 1995, and a Howard Hughes Medical Investigator from 2000-2024. His pioneering research on RNAi, in collaboration with Dr. Andrew Fire, has been recognized with numerous awards culminating with the prestigious 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
