So proud of my PI @AhrensNicklas and close collaborator Dr. Kiran Musunuru for their work! Both are amazing mentors to their graduate students with a strong drive to help patients live better lives.

[Children's Hospital @ChildrensPhila]

CHOP & @PennMedicine have delivered the first-ever personalized gene editing therapy for a patient with CPS1 deficiency, marking a major milestone in the application of CRISPR-based treatments.

Gene editing landscape

I pulled together 42 public & private companies and charted the preclinical & clinical assets of each, segmented by approach & editor

Some takeaways:

@hankgreen What are your opinions on/ can you do a public explanation on CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor T) cells and similar therapeutics? - signed a gene therapy PhD student

If the #smoke on the Eastern seaboard is not proof enough that the US is not immune to the impacts of #GlobalWarming then I'll eat my @SEPTA shoes
