The Pulse Podcast

Sherin Xirenayi, Fang Xie

Booking Overview

A science and biotechnology interview show focused on biotech breakthroughs, therapeutic development, company creation, and careers, typically featuring distinguished academic scientists, biotech founders, and senior industry leaders. Agencies could credibly pitch biotech founders, translational researchers, pharmaceutical and biotech executives, and academic innovators with significant discoveries or clinical programs; booking is likely high difficulty because recent guests have held prominent leadership roles or earned major scientific recognition.

Ryan Flynn: The Wonderful World of GlycoRNA

September 01, 2026

Ryan Flynn is pioneering a brand new field of biology. His seminal report of glycosylated RNA (glycoRNA) in 2021 reimagined the way we think about the cell surface and intercell communication. The discovery of glycoRNA revealed that cells intentionally express RNA on their surfaces and these RNAs interact powerfully with the immune system with potential implications in autoimmune disease and cancer immunology. Some of Ryan’s early work in these areas was adopted by Orna Therapeutics which was...
