More from less - target over 13,000 genomic sites with 24 guides! Excited to share our new paper on bioRxiv on multi-locus CRISPRi. Thanks to all co-authors! #BroadInstitute #GRO #CRISPR https://t.co/aGOma5fVtu

[Fadi Najm @FadiNajm]

It’s out! Check out our latest published work extending the application of CRISPRi by multi-targeting. Huge thanks & congrats to co-leads Molly Moore & Siddarth Wekhande & our collaborators! Stay tuned, this is just the beginning..

@bloodgenes @HHMINEWS Amazing! Congrats Vijay!

[Fadi Najm @FadiNajm]

Big CONGRATS to Alejandro Collins in the lab who will join the PhD program at @UCBerkeley in the Fall! We’ll certainly miss you @GRO_Broad @broadinstitute

[Fadi Najm @FadiNajm]

Guess what?! The @JD_Buenrostro and @FadiNajm labs got a Broad SPARC award! Incredibly grateful for this opportunity. Thanks to the Broad SPARC committee and benefactors who empower us to push the limits and dream big @broadinstitute @GRO_Broad

Also sharing a tweetorial poem we composed during lab meeting:
A truncated guide can target hundreds of loci.
We disrupt TF sites in numbers that are high,
Unprecedented scale of functional screening,
Gives CRISPRi screens a whole new meaning!

Honored to be included among this remarkable group. Many thanks to the NAM! And many thanks to the brilliant colleagues and trainees I’ve had the privilege of working with over the years!

[Fadi Najm @FadiNajm]

Huge congratulations to our GRO co-Director, collaborator, and all-around awesome person @JD_Buenrostro on winning the “Genius Grant”. Super well-deserved!

[Jason Buenrostro @JD_Buenrostro]

I’m so honored and grateful to be named a MacArthur Fellow! I’ve been absolutely flooded with texts, emails and likes. What a wonderful experience to hear from colleagues, collaborators, friends, and family. Thank you all for the support and encouragement! https://t.co/GlDzymQzuX

Check out our new study in @ScienceMagazine, where we take on a 100-year-old debate: what’s the role of aneuploidy in cancer?

We discovered that genetically removing extra chromosomes blocks cancer growth - a phenomenon we call “aneuploidy addiction”. https://t.co/K5ny7Ureph

[Peter van Galen @vangalenlab]

Super proud and thrilled that this paper is out! 📃 Many thanks to the fantastic team - I’ll fondly remember the lengthy discussions to extract the deepest biological insight using the samples and assays available to us 🧬🥳

[Zeyu Chen @ZeyuCHEN19]

Excited to share our latest work dissecting a CD69 enhancer at base resolution out in @cellgenomics today https://t.co/1qOYdxheGk w/ @BradEBernstein, @naumanmjaved, @fadinajm and everyone in the team~

[Fadi Najm @FadiNajm]

Big congratulations to Molly Moore in lab on securing an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship! Molly joined the lab 2 years ago & was a superstar from the beginning. I can't wait to see the cool things she'll do in graduate school & beyond. The future of chromatin science is bright!

[Fadi Najm @FadiNajm]

Thankful and honored to be recognized as a BroadIgnite researcher! The award will be put to good use identifying cancer targets. Many thanks to Molly and Alejandro on the team and donors!
