Semusikana mudiki, ndaigara ndichifarira zvirimwa nemhuka. Ini ndaive nehavi yekuda kuziva nezve chakaunza zvinhu kuhupenyu, maitiro avo, uye nesainzi yakazara kumashure kwezvose zvakatikomberedza.

Kare kumashure, zvakadaro, zvakaonekwa sezvisinganzwisisike kuti vasikana vapinde mumhando idzi dzezvinhu. Muchokwadi, pane dzimwe nguva apo ini ndaive ndega musikana muzvidzidzo zvangu zvesainzi zvekusekondari. Vadzidzisi nevamwe vadzidzi vaiwanzobvunza kana ini chaizvo aida kudzidza zvidzidzo izvi. Asi mashoko iwayo haana kumbondikanganisa. Kana pane chimwe chinhu, vakandikurudzira kuti ndirambe ndichiita zvandaida - uye pakupedzisira ndiwane Ph.D yangu. mune mamorekuru genetics.

Mushure mekupedza kudzidza, ndakaenda kuSan Diego (kwandichiri nanhasi makore makumi maviri gare gare) kunopedzisa zvidzidzo zvangu zvepamusoro paUniversity yeCalifornia. Mushure mekupedza zvidzidzo zvangu zve postdoctoral, ndakatanga kutarisa nezve kuvandudza mushonga, ndikazopedzisira ndagamuchira chinzvimbo kuINOVIO Pharmaceuticals seasainzi wekupinda. Inokurumidza-mberi makore 14, uye ini ndave iye zvino mukuru mutevedzeri wemutungamiri wezvekutsvagisa nebudiriro pakambani.

Munguva yangu yese kuINOVIO, ndakagadzira nekusimudzira kuendesa kwakawanda majekiseni, kunyanya ezvirwere zvinotapukira zvinotapukira zvakadai seEbola, Zika, uye HIV. Ini nechikwata changu taive vekutanga kuuya nejekiseni rekudzivirira chirwere cheLassa fever (chirwere chinotakurwa nemhuka, chinogona kuuraya utachiona uhwu hunogara munzvimbo dzeWest Africa) mukiriniki, uye takabatsira kusimudzira kugadzirwa kwejekiseni rekudzivirira. MERS-CoV, iyo coronavirus strain iyo inokonzeresa Middle East yekufema syndrome (MERS), iyo yakatapudza vanhu vangangoita 2 500 uye yakauraya vangangoita mazana 900 muna2012.

Ndakagara ndichifadzwa nemabatiro anoita hutachiona aya kutikanganisa. Ziso rakashama haritombovaona, asi ivo vanokwanisa kukonzera kuparara kwakanyanya uye kurwadziwa. Kwandiri, kupedza izvi zvirwere ndiko kunetsa kukuru uye kunopa mubayiro. Ndiwo mupiro wangu mudiki pakupedza kutambura kwevanhu.

Zvirwere izvi zvinokanganisa zvakanyanya munharaunda - mazhinji acho ari munzvimbo dzichiri kusimukira dzenyika. Kubva pandakatanga kuve musayendisiti, Chinangwa changu chave chekupedza zvirwere izvi, kunyanya izvo zvinobata vanhu zvisina mwero.

Rwendo rweKugadzira Mushonga weCOVID-19

Ndichagara ndichiyeuka ndakamira mukicheni yangu muna Zvita 31, 2019, ndichinwa kapu yetii, pandakatanga kunzwa nezve COVID-19. Pakarepo, ndakaziva kuti chaive chimwe chinhu chikwata changu kuINOVIO chaigona kubatsira kugadzirisa ASAP.

Pakutanga, isu takange tashanda mukugadzira muchina unogona kuisa maitiro ehutachiona hwechero hutachiona uye kugadzira dhizaini yaro. Kana tangogamuchira nhoroondo yemavhairasi nezvehutachiona hwataida kubva kuzviremera, tinokwanisa kugadzira mushonga wekudzivirira zvakakwana (unova mupumburu wejekiseni) wehutachiona uhwo mumaawa mashoma matatu.

Mishonga yakawanda inoshanda nekubaya jekiseni kana hutachiona mumuviri wako. Izvi zvinotora nguva - makore, muzviitiko zvakawanda. Asi majekiseni eDNA-based senge edu anoshandisa chikamu chehutachiona 'chake genetic kodhi kubatsira kukurudzira immune immune. (Saka, maitiro ekukurumidza kusika.)

Ehe, mune dzimwe nguva, zvinogona kutora kunyangwe zvimwe nguva yekuputsa genetic sequencing. Asi neCOVID, vatsvagiridzi veChinese vakakwanisa kuburitsa data rekuteedzana kwemajini munguva yekurekodha, zvichireva kuti timu yangu - nevamwe pasi rose - vangangotanga kugadzira vavhoti vechirwere nekukurumidza sezvazvinogona.

Kwandiri nechikwata changu, ino nguva yaive yakanyanya yepamusoro yeropa, ziya, misodzi, uye makore atakaisa mukugadzira tekinoroji inogona kutibatsira kurwisa hutachiona senge COVID.

Mumamiriro ezvinhu akajairika, nzira inotevera yekuita ndeyekuisa mushonga kuburikidza nenzira yekubvumidzwa kwakateedzana - maitiro anowanzoda nguva (kazhinji makore) yatisina. Dai taizo bvisa izvi, taizofanira kushanda tisinganeti. Uye ndizvo chaizvo zvatakaita.

Yakanga iri nzira inonetesa. Chikwata changu neni takapedza maawa anodarika gumi nemanomwe pazuva murabhorari tichiedza kutora jekiseni redu kuchikamu chekuyedza. Kana tichimbozorora, kwaiva kurara nekudya. Kuti titi takaneta hazvisi zvekutaura, asi isu taiziva kuti kusagadzikana kwanga kuri kwechinguva uye kuti chinangwa chedu chakakura kwazvo kupfuura isu. Ndozvakatitadzisa kuenda.

Izvi zvakaenderera kwemazuva makumi masere nemasere, mushure mezvo muchina wedu wakagadzira mushonga wekudzivirira uye takaushandisa kurapa murwere wedu wekutanga, chinova chiitiko chikuru.

Parizvino, jekiseni redu rekudzivirira rakapedza Chikamu chekutanga chemiyedzo yekiriniki uye parizvino iri muChikamu chechipiri chekuyedzwa. Tiri kutarisira kupinda muPhase 3 imwe nguva gore rino. Ndipo patichanyatsoona kana vaccine yedu ichidzivirira kubva kuCOVID uye kusvika papi. (Yakabatana: Zvese zvaunoda Kuti Uzive Nezve COVID-19 Vaccine Side Mhedzisiro)

Mawaniro Andakaita Kuzvitarisira Pakati PeMhirizhonga

Pasinei nokuti yakawanda sei mundiro yangu panguva ipi zvayo (ini ndiri amai vevana vaviri mukuwedzera pakuva musayendisiti!), Ndinoita kuti zvivepo kuti ndive nenguva yekutarisira utano hwangu hwepanyama uye hwepfungwa. Sezvo INOVIO ichishanda nevanhu vanobva kumativi ese enyika, zuva rangu rinowanzotanga mangwanani-ngwanani - na4 mangwanani, kunyatsoita. Mushure mekushanda kwemaawa mashoma, ndinopedza maminetsi makumi maviri kusvika makumi matatu ndichiita Yoga naAdriene kuti ndibatsire pasi nepakati ndisati ndamutsa vana uye mayhem anotanga.

Sezvo ini ndachembera, ndakaona kuti kana iwe ukasazvitarisira iwe pachako, kuchengetedza chirongwa chakabatikana senge yangu haina kugadzikana. Pamusoro peyoga, gore rino ndatanga rudo rwekunze, saka ndinowanzo famba nzendo refu nembwa dzangu mbiri dzekununura. Dzimwe nguva ndinotombosvina muchikamu pabhasikoro rangu rekurovedza muviri kune yakaderera-kusimba cardio. (Zvakaenderana: Mabhenefiti eUtano hweMental uye Mumuviri weKushanda Kwekunze)

Kutarisa Mberi

Zvakaoma sezvakange zvakaita gore rapfuura, zvakare zvave zvichiunza mibairo inoshamisa. Nekushambadzira kwese kwatakaita kubva pakatanga denda, ini handigone kukuudza iyo nhamba yenguva apo vanhu vakagovana kuti zvinokurudzira sei kuona mukadzi achitungamira kuita kwakadai. Ndakanzwa kukudzwa nekuzvikudza zvekuti ndiri kukwanisa kufurira vanhu kuti vatevere nzira yesainzi - kunyanya vakadzi nevanhu vanobva kwakasiyana mamiriro.

Nehurombo, STEM ichiri nzira inotongwa nevarume. Kunyangwe muna 2021, chete 27 muzana yevashandi ve STEM vakadzi. Ini ndinofunga isu takananga munzira kwayo, asi kufambira mberi kunononoka. Ndinovimba kuti nenguva yemwanasikana wangu paanoenda kukoreji, kana akasarudza nzira iyi, pachave nekumiririrwa kwakasimba kwevakadzi muSTEM. Isu tiri munzvimbo ino.

Kune vese vevashandi vehutano, vashandi vepamberi, uye vabereki, heino zano rangu rekuzvitarisira: Hauzokwanisi kuita zvaunoda nepekugona kwako kunze kwekunge wazvichengeta. Sevakadzi, kazhinji tinoisa zvese uye munhu wese pamberi pedu, izvo zvinogona kuyemurika, asi zvinouya nekuzvipa isu pachedu.

Zvechokwadi, kuzvitarisira kunotaridzika kwakasiyana kune wese. Asi kutora iwo maminetsi makumi matatu erunyararo zuva rega rega kuti uchengetedze hutano hwako hwepfungwa - ingave muchimiro chekurovedza muviri, nguva yekunze, kufungisisa, kana kugeza kwenguva refu inopisa - kwakakosha kuti ubudirire.
