Pathology Grand Rounds

Caroline Miller, MD and Chauncey Syposs, DO - University of Rochester Medical Center Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Gene Therapy for Transfusion-Dependent Beta-thalassemia: This talk will review Beta-thalassemia pathology and current treatment. Drawbacks of current treatment options will be discusses. A new therapy in clinical trial will be examined. / 'Did Alphafold2 Solve the Levinthal Paradox and Fundamentally Change Structural Biology?' Computer algorithms are being developed to predict protein structure at an order of magnitude faster and cheaper. In November of this year the first algorithm that can predict protein structure with similar accuracy to experimental methods was demonstrated at CASP14.
