Brian Wamhoff, a rare biotech leader with hands-on experience from lab to patient, has been tapped as the first chief strategy and business officer for the new Manning Institute of Biotechnology at UVA — a bold move to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and real medicine. With a mission to accelerate treatments and close the “translational valley of death,” Wamhoff will connect the institute with investors, partners, and agencies to turn breakthroughs into bedside solutions faster — even as a $27 million state funding cut forces the team to find new financial pathways. The institute, set to open in late 2027, is racing to deliver life-saving drugs to patients who are waiting.

The U.S. Secret Service is diving into explosive allegations that Donald Trump and his team mishandled classified documents during his departure from the White House in 2020, with investigators from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the House Oversight Committee probing claims of obstruction and concealment. Reports suggest Trump may have directed aides to hide sensitive materials, and the Justice Department is also examining former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and aide Cassidy Hutchinson to determine if a cover-up occurred — all while trying to untangle whether any laws were broken in this high-stakes national security probe.

Beau Pribula is officially Virginia’s starting quarterback, with Coach Tony Elliott confirming the move and sending him to ACC media days — giving him prime time to build chemistry with the offense before kickoff. In a conference-wide QB shuffle, 11 of 17 ACC teams are expected to start transfers, including Pribula, who’s bounced between Penn State, Missouri, and now Charlottesville. While some teams stick with veterans like NC State’s C.J. Bailey, Virginia’s gamble on a transfer is paying off — last year’s success proves it works. Pribula’s already hitting the ground running, collaborating with OC Des Kitchings to craft plays and aiming to leave his mark in Charlottesville.
