I'm making an open offer to any compbio grad students/postdocs who are aiming for faculty positions. If you have strong impactful research but no glam pubs & need someone to advocate for you, please get in touch. I promise u, I & a bunch of other faculty will strongly support u.
I am excited to share that our paper “Rapid DNA unwinding accelerates genome editing by engineered CRISPR-Cas9” from @doudna_lab is out in @CellCellPress!

Dedicated to my mom, the strongest woman I know. As a single mother, you’ve given everything to see me succeed. I’m honored to be the first in our family to earn a doctorate. This PhD is not just mine, it’s ours. Thank you for being my rock. #FirstGeneration#DoctorMom
Hachiman is hot off the (preprint) presses! @owen_t_tuck and I in @doudna_lab present a model for how this broad-activity defense system recognizes genome integrity, a core feature of phage infection.
Check out the preprint and Owen's thread for the news:
Our latest work, out today in @PLOSBiology suggests that not only do mammalian cells absorb bacteriophages, but they appear to use them as a resource to enhance growth!

This work was led by @marion_bichet and out on World Phage Week! #WorldPhageWeek
Excited to share that I recently started a faculty position in the @RutgersNB MBB dept and the @RutgersCABM! My new lab will explore the fascinating biology of microbial defense pathways and engineer them for applications in human health & medicine.

🚨Thrilled to unveil Cress Lab's 1st pre-print! In work co-led with my former @doudna_lab-mates @ben_a_adler & Muntathar Al-Shimary, we establish a phage functional genomics platform to characterize the genomes of diverse lytic phages. 🧬https://t.co/cQJe3wTFqW

💥Excited to unleash ENCOTE: Encyclopedia of Transposable Elements with cis-regulatory activity in the human genome!
Collab w @twang5 for #ENCODE led by🔥trio Alan Du, Jason Chobirko & @XiaoyuZhuo
TEs = 25% of all cCREs = 200,000+ elements!!
Deep dive! 1/n https://t.co/t9xacOAOAQ
🚨 Today, we’re thrilled to share our study expanding the gene editing toolbox to enable virtually any kind of edit in gene transcripts at the order of thousands of bases. A thread 🧵👇(1/n)

Excited to share this pre-print on recent developments in non-viral delivery of CRISPR-Cas9 to the mouse brain, following up on work from the @doudna_lab published in 2017 https://t.co/C3xnpTAKGz
I am excited to share with you the final version of my work @SorekLab studying
💠How bacterial immune systems sense phage infection💠
Published now in @CellCellPress🍻
