A multidisciplinary community of researchers on a mission to improve human health.
- Congratulations to @eric_lander who will become Presidential Science Advisor to @JoeBiden! As Eric transitions to this new role, we welcome Broad’s Chief Scientific Officer Todd Golub as Director of the Broad Institute. Learn more: broad.io/LanderScienceA…
- The individual who posted a deeply offensive comment referencing the murder of Charlie Kirk is no longer employed at Broad Institute. We condemn the statement and have taken immediate action. There is no place in any institution, nor in our society, for statements such as this.
- Eli Broad was one of the great philanthropists of our time, and his impact on biomedicine is immeasurable. His extraordinary vision and support launched the Broad Institute, and leaves behind formidable legacies in education, art, and beyond. broad.io/EliBroad043021
- We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Eric and Wendy #SchmidtCenter. Merging biology and machine learning to understand the programs of life, the Center will enable a new field of interdisciplinary research aimed at improving human health. broad.io/SchmidtCenterN…
- Congratulations to Aviv Regev, who moves on to an amazing opportunity with @Genentech in August. She was the first faculty member hired at Broad and is a remarkable scientific leader and mentor. Thanks, Aviv! intranet.broadinstitute.org/news/aviv-rege…
- Researchers have developed a new way to deliver molecular therapies to cells. The system, called SEND, can be programmed to encapsulate and deliver different RNA cargoes. Learn more: broad.io/SEND
GIF - Prime editing, a new #CRISPR #genomeediting tool created by @davidrliu/@liugroup, directly edits human cells in a precise, efficient, and highly versatile fashion. The tool has the potential to correct up to 89% of #genetic defects. broad.io/prime
- Today we recognize, thank, and celebrate the women in our Broad community – and worldwide! We need more #WomenInScience, more women scientists from all backgrounds, and more young girls choosing STEM careers! #InternationalDayOfWomenInScience #WomenAndGirlsInScience
- Cost of sequencing the first human genome was $3 billion. Today it costs $600 dollars. #BroadAt15 #HumanGenome
- Six leading scientists and longtime members of the Broad community have been named as new core institute members at Broad: @getz_lab, @AnnaGreka, Nir Hacohen, @macosko, @bmneale, and @pardissabeti Congratulations to all! broad.io/CoreInstituteM…
- We’re thrilled that base editing, developed by researchers in the lab of Broad member @davidrliu, is having such a profound impact in the clinic. Congratulations to former Broad postdoc @kiranmusunuru and @ChildrensPhila for their groundbreaking work. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
- A new class of base editor, developed in a collaboration between @davidrliu, Joseph Mougous @UW, @VamsiMootha, and colleagues, enables precision editing of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Read more: cards.twitter.com/cards/18ce53un…
