"Pun intended, my PhD came full circle here," he said.
According to Kahvejian, in those earlier days, Flagship was looking into different forms of RNA that were emerging from genomic studies, and noticed some naturally had a closed-loop structure. Yet, most of these circular RNAs didn't code for proteins, which got Flagship thinking about how to coax the cell to read them like it reads messenger RNA, Kahvejian said.
To do this, Kahvejian said his team took inspiration from how viruses trick cells into translating their genetic code. The result is synthetic, circular pieces of RNA that function like perpetual motion machines, according to Kahvejian.
