The Hockemeyer Lab & collabs (@BateupLab) are thrilled to share the first pre-print of the @ASAP_Research project! We present a pipeline to introduce Parkinson-related mutations by PRIME EDITING in human pluripotent stem cells at high efficiency 🤯🧬 https://t.co/hWCJcfcGC6

[Bateup Lab @BateupLab]

Happy to share the first pre-print from @ASAP_Research Team Rio! We show that prime editing (developed by @davidrliu and co.) can efficiently and precisely introduce or repair Parkinson's-associated mutations in human stem cells for disease modeling.

Are you interested in functional genomics screening? 🧬✂️
Would you like to make and study organoids? 🧠
Or exploring the potential of stem cells? 🧫
You can do this and all of these together @HockemeyerLab. We are looking for postdocs to join our group!

[Hockemeyer Lab @HockemeyerLab]

Hey! Our lab @berkeleyMCB is hiring! SRA position now available as a lab manager/tissue culture support 🔬🧫.

Sharing this @BerkeleyNews article about @berkeleyMCB's recent ASAP grant awards. Our team is currently recruiting a project manager, post-docs, and technicians to work in one of the 5 labs.

$14 million boost for Parkinson's research https://t.co/rskgjdtKV1 via @ucberkeley

[Bateup Lab @BateupLab]

We are thrilled to be part of an ASAP funded project to decipher the functional genetics of Parkinson's disease in human brain organoids and mouse models. 5 lab collaboration with @HockemeyerLab, @LukeGilbertSF, Don Rio, and Frank Soldner. We are recruiting! More info soon.

Listen to the story of how the @HockemeyerLab @DirkHockemeyer & @igisci have joined forces to scale up Covid testings. #COVID19 #beatcovid

[Hockemeyer Lab @HockemeyerLab]

We are so happy to share our blueprint on how to establish a pop-up lab for #SARSCoV2 testing now out on @NatureBiotech
Congratulations to the teams @igisci and @berkeleyMCB. We are all in this together! 💪🏻🌈 #BeatCOVID19

[Fyodor Urnov @UrnovFyodor]

The scientists who power the pipeline that powers the testing lab: @JRo_Hamilton @enrique_lins @AbbyLabbyUC @connortsuchida all @doudna_lab + Dirk @HockemeyerLab
Robots are only as good as the people who control them. By that criterion our robots are BRILLIANT. @berkeleyMCB

[UC Berkeley MCB @berkeleyMCB]

Congrats to MCB Prof Jennifer Doudna on receiving an Inspire Award for transforming @UCBerkeley lab space to process #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 tests. https://t.co/VPuIRyQ6FE via @SFBusinessTimes
