Gene editing—a type of genetic engineering that targets and alters the cellular roots of disease—will be in the spotlight at the next RegenBio Summit, a Mayo Clinic-sponsored national conference to be held Dec. 9–11 in Florida. "RegenBio Summit: Transforming Next-Gen Biotherapeutics" will focus on ways to bring biotherapies made from human sources such as blood, cells and tissue to patients everywhere. Biotherapeutics have shown potential for targeted healing with few side effects. 🌐Learn more about the conference: https://mayocl.in/4fVA9Vb

Earlier this month, Mayo Clinic’s Dr. Kwan Lee visited IHC RS Pusat Pertamina (RSPP), a Mayo Clinic Care Network member, to host grand rounds. The event provided medical staff with valuable knowledge on how to treat complex heart interventions to improve patient outcomes. “Dr. Lee taught us how to approach difficult cases systematically in daily clinical practice," said RSPP’s Dr. Kurniawan Iskandarsyah. "Dr. Lee’s presentation increased our insight into the development of technology in the field of interventional cardiology.” The discussion was made possible through the coordination efforts of Royston Lek, executive director of Mayo Clinic APAC, Yue Xu, account manager of Mayo Clinic APAC and Safalina Ganis, Indonesia representative.

"My mother is a breast cancer survivor, and her journey inspired my decision to investigate cancer during my predoctoral studies. I hope to address the genetic risk factors involved in cancer development that can be used as methods of prevention and to develop patient-specific treatments. Because race plays a significant role in many cancers, I aim to incorporate a focus on health disparities in my Ph.D. work." — Alani Perkin, new Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. student.

Congratulations to Lauren, who recently received the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses! 🌼⁠ ⁠ Here is an excerpt from her nomination: "My family member underwent a second transplant. While many nurses on the fourth floor provided excellent care, one nurse stood out — Lauren. As a nurse myself, I knew how important it was to have a nurse who could offer not just clinical care but also emotional support during such a challenging time. Lauren was that nurse for us. Our family member's journey was tough, and as days turned into months, it became clear they wouldn't win the battle. Lauren was there every step of the way, offering her expertise, compassion and kindness. In the final hours, Lauren ensured our family member was comfortable, free from anxiety or pain, and surrounded by love."⁠ Mayo Clinic is among over 5,000 healthcare organizations worldwide committed to the DAISY Award program.
