Collaborate. Research. Cure. These three words embody the spirit of what we represent at the Ragon Institute of Mass General, MIT, and Harvard. We’re proud to announce our new logo — and tagline — as part of an institute-wide rebrand ahead of the opening of our new building next year! Our updated visual identity combines elements of unity, collaboration, and clarity to create an intelligent framework for conveying our mission and vision.
Researchers at the Ragon Institute have developed a novel immunization strategy that shows promise for protecting against both group 1 and group 2 influenza A viruses. The strategy, detailed in their recent study, relies on eliciting a single amino acid change in antibodies to generate broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs).
Their findings, to be published in Cell next month, reveal how the virus manipulates immune system processes to avoid destruction by natural killer (NK) cells, a type of white blood cell that is crucial for fighting viral infections.
The Culture Committee and Ragon Crafters hosted a very festive event in our Tea Room.
May 26 was a sad but exciting day for the Ragon as the Clinical Team said goodbye to four of its team members, who are moving on to their next stages of training.
This marks the final week of this year's PRISM.
