    📢 Our latest paper is out in @CellCellPress! Led by the multi-talented @XinheZheng, we accelerated AAV-based gene delivery to 2 days & enabled in vivo CRISPR screens with single cell-level readout, a leap from existing capabilities 🤯 How does it work? (1/8)

    I grew up hearing his legacy. Working during the Great Famine, Yuan developed the first hybrid rice strains in the 70s that have saved billions of ppl from hunger. Hybrid rice is now grown in many countries in Africa America & Asia. #YuanLongping #袁隆平 nytimes.com/2021/05/23/obi…

    How are diverse brain cell types impacted by diverse panels of disease-associated risk genes? Please check out our new work, massively parallel in vivo Perturb-seq, now on bioRxiv. We screen across AAV phylogeny to find a new serotype with rapid (2 day) expression onset 🚀 1/7

    More than 14% of highly cited scientists in biomedical science are Asian, as are nearly 25% of recipients of NIH R01 grants -- but when it comes to prestigious prizes, the percentage of female Asian awardees is only 0.8%. The STATnews:

    My colleague Yuh Nung Jan from @UCSF effectively argues that Asian awardees are underrepresented for United States biomedical research prizes. Please keep this in mind while you nominate. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

    Celebrating Ben Cravatt as the 6th Wolf Prize winner at @scrippsresearch chemistry. He and his team turned ‘dirty’ covalent compounds into transformative tools e.g. activity based protein profiling. Party coincides with grad recruit dinner-Ben was a Scripps grad student! 😉

    Been in San Diego for 2 wks: 1) walked into an office that is arguably more ready than I am! ✅ 1st cloning ✅ 1st HEK passage grateful for this supportive loving environment. DNC is a hidden gem in neuroscience. 2) Many vegan restaurants/bakeries. Food here is just divine! 1/n

    Honored to be an HHMI FHS! Grateful to colleagues who push me to think deeply, and students whose curiosity & energy make the lab a joy. My grad advisor said in genetic screens, you don’t get what you want—you get what you deserve. Hope we are deserving!
