🥳🥳 Welcome to the team!

[Diego Calderon (diegoisworking@bluesky) @diegoisworking]

Incredibly proud to share that I recently joined @UCSF_BTS @UCSF as an Assistant Professor! This means that the Calderon Lab is now open!

Or, more accurately, in the process of opening as I am still unboxing equipment and unraveling giant posters (a last @JSHendure lab gift) 🥳

The deadline to apply for a faculty position in our department is October 3rd.

Don't miss out!

A team at Gladstone developed a technology that lets them edit the genomes of bacteria-fighting viruses, known as phages, in a streamlined and highly effective way.

*Preprint Alert* This one’s in a new area for the lab: phage editing! We're using retrons to produce recombineering donors ~inside~ bacterial hosts. A wild-type phage infects the host and an edited phage comes out. https://t.co/8T0IGXBnge

In-center #hemodialysis, which is what most people receive, is a poor substitute for living kidneys, says UCSF’s Shuvo Roy, technical director of the @KidneyProject, which is working to bring an implantable bioartificial kidney to patients. https://t.co/dmq3r5Bzux #WorldKidneyDay

[Wilder Lab @Wilder_Lab]

Excited to find team members to work on developing dynamical, quantitative models of innate immune responses! Hiring a postdoctoral scholar with expertise in mathematical and computational modeling. See the link to apply. #postdocposition #modeling #UCSF
