Dr. Brian Wang, PhD is a Program Director at ARIA ( https://www.aria.org.uk/ ), the UK’s bold, mission-driven R&D funding agency, where he leads the Sculpting Innate Immunity opportunity space ( https://www.aria.org.uk/opportunity-spaces/sculpting-innate-immunity/ ): a fascinating initiative to see if rather than harnessing the adaptive immune system in infectious disease for new antibodies, instead asking how we can better mobilize the body’s first line of defense, the innate immune response.
With a PhD in organic chemistry at Berkeley and having conducted post-doctorate research in synthetic biology at MIT, Dr. Wang moved into pandemic preparedness during COVID — leading R&D at Alvea and later co-founding Panoplia Laboratories, a nonprofit organization that evaluates AI-driven biology and conducts biosecurity research in the public interest
— before joining ARIA.
ARIA, the Advanced Research and Invention Agency, is the UK’s new experiment in high-risk, high-reward research. Modeled in part on America’s DARPA for high-risk, high-reward science, ARIA funds bold bets that might not find a home in academia or industry.

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
