About this Event

Please join the Legorreta Cancer Center and the Giuliani RNA Center on Friday November 14th from 3-5PM in the Metcalf Auditorium for a screening of Cracking the Code - Phil Sharp & the Biotech Revolution with Q&A and discussion from Dr. Phil Sharp, Nobel Laureate, Recipient of the 2004 National Medal of Science, Professor of Biology and Professor Emeritus at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT.

Cracking the Code, narrated by Mark Ruffalo, is an inspiring story of vision, perseverance, and the power of science to change the world. Phil Sharp’s journey from a Kentucky farm boy to Nobel laureate embodies the American Dream and the triumph of entrepreneurial spirit. His 1977 groundbreaking discovery of RNA splicing rewrote the rules of molecular biology and ignited a life-saving scientific revolution, laying the foundation for an industry that has become a cornerstone of global innovation and economic growth – and transformed the health of billions of patients worldwide.
