Cy A. Stein writes: “I was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society last year at a meeting in Barcelona. The Society celebrated 20 years in 2022. Oligonucleotides are small bits of DNA or RNA that can be used as therapeutic agents. I received my award for a lifetime of study of phosphorothioate oligodeoxyribonucleotides. There are about half a dozen of these molecules that are FDA-approved and marketed for a variety of indications that otherwise have few or no treatments.”
