Excited to share our latest paper, out today @CellCellPress. We found that large pieces of the human genome can transfer between cells upon direct contact, endowing recipient cells with heritable phenotypic changes. (1/7)

Today in @NatBiotech, we report the directed evolution of structured RNA motifs that enhance the efficiency of prime editing. Iterated high-throughput pooled screens and mutagenesis of these small RNA elements improved transient pegRNA lifetime.

Thrilled to share I've started at @Stanford's Department of Pathology (@StanfordPath) in addition to @ArcInstitute. Looking forward to a shorter commute after 5 years at @BerkeleyBioE and embarking on daring new projects
We're recruiting multiple postdocs and technical staff👇
🧬 New paper out in @Nature! We used CRISPR to selectively kill cancer cells based on a single-letter mutation in their RNA. The story I want to highlight: KRAS — one of the most notorious drivers of human cancer. A short thread on what we found 🧵
Just out: our forward-looking essay on mRNA “delivery cells”—engineered cells that could locally manufacture mRNA at disease sites within the body and transfer it to target cells in extracellular vesicles.
🥼Junior Group Leader required to lead a new group in areas such as human genomics, cancer, aging, and advanced therapies.

🧬 Un equipo del @BioInn_CIEMAT y del @CNIOStopCancer ha utilizado #CRISPR para eliminar células tumorales con oncogenes amplificados, sin dañar las sanas.
Los resultados son prometedores en modelos de neuroblastoma, cáncer de pulmón y colorrectal.
Te lo contamos todo aquí: https://t.co/bVOGuc51o4

Thrilled to share that our latest paper is out! We present a new experimental CRISPR-based strategy to target tumors with amplified oncogenes. Turning gene amplification into a vulnerability to selectively induce lethal DNA damage in cancer cells.
I’m excited to announce that the application for the 2026 edition of our @medialab and global synthetic biology course “How to Grow (Almost) Anything” is now open! Application link in thread 👇

The new Department of Functional Genetics at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine is looking for scientists at any level. 👇 https://t.co/n1m7uWjB3d
Miraaaad… os contamos pronto cómo desde @CNIOStopCancer y The Pink Force Foundation @R2KT_Droid vamos a llevar sonrisas a niños y niñas con cáncer, y a reivindicar la importancia de la investigación en oncología pediátrica!
Ilusionante 👏
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.
