Woo hoo @Wagnerlab_RNA! Awesome news and well deserved!
Woo hoo @Wagnerlab_RNA! Awesome news and well deserved!
Excited about phage functional genomics, phage engineering, & microbiome editing? The Cress Lab @UCBerkeley @igisci is hiring postdocs in these areas! Come chat w/ me @VoM_2024 & don't miss my presentation w/ @ben_a_adler in the SynBio session Fri @ 11:20am. Retweets appreciated!
Big congratulations to @ammolinavargas graduating with his PhD, not to mention all the accolades along the way including the Leadership Award for Excellence in Equity and Inclusion bestowed at graduation. We're all very proud of all your accomplishments and we're gonna miss you!
Join us in April in Boston for the 2024 symposium on the immune system of bacteria ! 🧫🧬🥳 Registration now open: kranzuschlab.med.harvard.edu/bacterial-immu… Abstract deadline March 4th.
The first FDA approval for CRISPR! A historic milestone! Thanks @URochester_SMD for getting a chance on riff on about this special occasion (unrehearsed and unscripted as you might be able to tell!). #URochesterResearch

Now @NAR_Open our two back-to-back papers with @mitchellrayoco1 lab! Our #chemcomp paper unravels the #RNA-mediated allosteric regulation in #CRISPR-Cas13a and discloses functional mutations. academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar… @sou_svk @pablitoarantes @ammolinavargas & Amun Patel
Love this! Eric has been instrumental helping me stay afloat starting a lab at Rochester. Sitting down almost high school English teacher style going line by line, pen and paper through a grant application has been transformative about how i think to communicate. A true gift!
