Josh&#8217;s research in the group spearheaded the development and application of self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) for a variety of therapeutic and genetic engineering modalities, from vaccines to anti-cancer treatments and beyond (McGee, Kirsch et al. Nature Biotech 2024). Josh is the recipient of several awards, including the prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, as well as Boston University&#8217;s Translational Research in Biomaterials Fellowship. Since graduating, Josh has been working as the CSO of Keylicon, a BU spin out built off of his saRNA work which hopes to translate the innovative findings of his research into more effective RNA therapies for patients.  When he isn&#8217;t working hard in the lab, Josh is a devoted family-man spending time with his wife and family, and is an avid fan of Boston sports. He also can bake a mean chocolate chip cookie.<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>Joshua McGee, Ph.D. | CSO, Co-Founder of Keylicon Biosciences | Boston University, Biomedical Engineering, Ph.D.<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":1713,"height":2560,"file":"2023\/05\/Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-scaled.jpg","sizes":{"medium":{"file":"Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-425x636.jpg","width":425,"height":636,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"\/wilsonwong\/files\/2023\/05\/Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-425x636.jpg"},"large":{"file":"Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-685x1024.jpg","width":685,"height":1024,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"\/wilsonwong\/files\/2023\/05\/Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-685x1024.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"file":"Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"\/wilsonwong\/files\/2023\/05\/Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-768x1148.jpg","width":768,"height":1148,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"\/wilsonwong\/files\/2023\/05\/Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-768x1148.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"file":"Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-1028x1536.jpg","width":1028,"height":1536,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"\/wilsonwong\/files\/2023\/05\/Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-1028x1536.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"file":"Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-1370x2048.jpg","width":1370,"height":2048,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"\/wilsonwong\/files\/2023\/05\/Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-1370x2048.jpg"},"full":{"file":"Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-scaled.jpg","width":1713,"height":2560,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"\/wilsonwong\/files\/2023\/05\/Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-scaled.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1682790943","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]},"original_image":"Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2.jpg"},"post":30,"source_url":"\/wilsonwong\/files\/2023\/05\/Y01819003929-R1-034-15A-2-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wilsonwong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/338"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wilsonwong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wilsonwong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wilsonwong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22353"}]}}
