I spent my PhD developing novel genomic technologies, and today I am extra excited to share the last bit of this work, which is a multiplex prime editing (PE) screening framework! (1/n)

- I have only amazing things to say about @sdomcke - her lab will be one of the best out there, both from a scientific and mentorship perspective. I can't wait to visit!New synthetic biology / gene regulation lab opening in Zurich! We’re studying how to control cell state transitions – for example, making diseased cells healthy or creating new cellular functions – using systematic perturbations, single-cell genomics and machine learning. 🧵1/4
- Exciting times!!!Incredibly proud to share that I recently joined @UCSF_BTS @UCSF as an Assistant Professor! This means that the Calderon Lab is now open! Or, more accurately, in the process of opening as I am still unboxing equipment and unraveling giant posters (a last @JSHendure lab gift) 🥳
- Another phenomenal piece of work from a superstar postdoc and my closest collaborator @TroyMcDiarmid, & incredible (now PhD student!) Megan Taylor! Megan joined the lab as a freshman undergrad, & it has been nothing short of amazing watching her develop into an amazing scientist.Beyond stoked to share our latest, entitled “Diversified, miniaturized and ancestral parts for mammalian genome engineering and molecular recording” ! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
- Genomic tech dev is my favorite area of science, and today our paper describing our multiplex CRISPRa screening method to identify cell type specific regulatory elements is published! rdcu.be/dUnoq
