My very first publication ‼️🎉🕺🔥 (infinite thanks to @tinaliu_phd @gavinjknott for allowing me to contribute to this incredible effort !!)
Sharing our team’s paper, now live @nchembio! By combining two unrelated CRISPR nucleases in tandem, we've built a fast, sensitive, one-step assay for RNA detection that could be adapted for use in rapid, point-of-care diagnostic testing. nature.com/articles/s41589-0…
🥳🥳🥳
We want to congratulate our 4th yr PhD candidate @C_Luthers31 for receiving this year's John W. Phillips Legacy Award & UCLA's Dissertation Year Award; & also our 2nd yr Phd student, @Dylan_Smock for being a recipient of this year's @UCLAstemcell (BSCRC) training grant! 🍾

We look forward to working with our scientific colleagues to optimize and expand the application potential and scenarios of HYER, a new nucleic acid manipulation platform. RNA is amazing!
The news from people’s park this morning truly makes me so sad. I remember going to community events here since I was a kid. The park
is one of the only open green spaces in the south side of berkeley and was literally designated as a historic landmark by the city in 1984. (1/)
Here’s some vids from probably favorite memory in the park: my wife, Yula, and I DJing some funk music for a protect the park event a couple years ago.
If you want more information about what is happing at the park, follow the legend @AidanVote 💙💜💙 and above all else, #ProtectPeoplesPark #PeoplesPark #Berkeley

Today I am excited to share our preprint “Rapid DNA unwinding accelerates genome editing by engineered CRISPR-Cas9” from @doudna_lab, with co-authors @kaichen_1990, Kasia Soczek, @owen_t_tuck, @Ee_Doherty, @BW_Thornton, Bryant Xu, and Marena Trinidad. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

.@US_FDA approved two #genetherapies, #Casgevy and #Lyfgenia, to treat #sicklecell disease (#SCD) in patients 12 years & older. These are the first GTs approved for SCD in the U.S., & Casgevy is the first approved therapy in the U.S. using #CRISPR. bit.ly/3taZOpk
Super excited to announce that I have joined the @Kohn_Lab @ UCLA for my PhD ‼️ Thank you so much to everyone who showed me the ropes in lab and helped me to get to this point in my career. I couldn't be more grateful 🥰🩵
