Twist Bioscience’s Post

Let’s spread these fantastic facts about childhood vaccines and outshine the misinformation that continues to circulate! “As numbers decrease of children dead or debilitated due to measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, and polio we tend to forget that this is the result of an evidence-based childhood vaccination program. Eliminating vaccines or changing the way they are given without evidence of equivalent efficacy would be a hazardous undertaking. Children, not the adults who make those decisions, will pay the price.” Please like and share this article by W. Ian Lipkin of Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health about the importance of childhood vaccines.

🚀 Exciting News! The Hamburg Center for Translational Immunology (HCTI) is officially opening, addressing the rising incidence of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases. These conditions, caused by misregulated immune responses, impact various organ systems, ranging from quality of life impairments to life-threatening outcomes. We are proud to announce that Twist Bioscience is sponsoring the opening event! Join us on 19th September to meet and greet our team as we embark on this groundbreaking journey.

We are thrilled to announce that the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has awarded our Wilsonville, Oregon facility the prestigious LEED certification, a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement, for meeting sustainability standards for building, operations and maintenance. “We founded Twist to improve health and sustainability, and every day we work toward that mission by providing our customers with products to enable them to build a better world,” said Emily Leproust, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Twist Bioscience. “Last year we quantified the carbon footprint of making a gene using the Twist platform and found that our approach is the equivalent of driving 0.092 miles (0.15km) compared to 59 miles (95km) using a 96-well plate approach1. By achieving LEED certification for our Wilsonville site where we manufacture our genes and synbio products, we can provide our customers with DNA made using fewer chemical reagents in a facility that upholds the LEED standards of sustainability.” Twist Bioscience Achieves LEED Certification for Sustainable Operations and Maintenance: https://lnkd.in/gWxvNqBy U.S. Green Building Council, #sustainability, #DNA, #LEED
