Jessica and Jéssica Freire Feitor, PhD went up to Burlington, VT to see the total solar eclipse yesterday. While there, they showed off their Wyss swag. #WyssInTheWorld

Such a bunch of science nerds here at Wyss Institute. Looking at the solar eclipse together.

Robots come in all shapes & sizes. Wyss researchers are developing the MyoExo system w/ integrated novel wearable strain sensor technology to accurately detect & monitor muscle rigidity in Parkinson's Disease patients. #NationalRoboticsWeek #Parkinsons wyss.harvard.edu/technology/myo…

Patient-derived T cells carrying immune-enhancing cytokines on their surfaces could help expand adoptive T cell therapies to treatment of solid tumors through a simple and effective approach developed at the Wyss Institute. #SolidTumors
