The work that I contributed to as a Mitacs Research Intern is now out in @CellReports!! We report the development of a CRISPRi-seq-based technique for chemical-genetic profiling of antimicrobials and identify a novel inhibitor of the essential enzyme peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase.

Heartiest Congratulations @KamatLab_IISER!!! Extremely proud to be a lab alumnus!!
#InfosysPrize2024 in Life Sciences is awarded to Prof. Siddhesh Kamat, @KamatLab_IISER, of @IISERPune for his discoveries concerning bioactive lipids and their receptors, and their metabolic and signaling pathways. His research using advanced methods to understand the function of lipids, a key component of cells, has important implications for understanding the role of these molecules in a range of cellular functions and human diseases.

Another major milestone towards not being beholden to the misspellings in our DNA. Congratulations to @CRISPRTX, @VertexPharma, the many scientists and doctors who laid the intellectual foundations for this work, and the patients who will benefit from it. 🍻
Historic day! Proud of the CRISPR/Vertex team and grateful to the PIs and patients who helped us get here.

In a major milestone for science, for medicine, and for patients, the world’s first CRISPR drug has been approved in the UK. “A new treatment for sickle-cell disease and transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia has been authorised by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for patients aged 12 and over after a rigorous assessment of its safety, quality and effectiveness.” Congratulations to the many scientists, doctors, patients, and industry leaders who made this development possible.🍻 gov.uk/government/news/mhra-…
