Inaugurated the new advanced Gene translational facility at #CSIR-Institute of Genomics & Integrated Biology #IGIB, New Delhi.

Congratulations CSIR -IGIB, for successfully accomplishing a breakthrough in developing India’s first indegenous therapy for Genetic cure of Sickle Cell Disease.

The therapy is based on #CRISPR technology , that is, “Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats” is a technology for editing genomes, derived from a natural defense system in bacteria. The most common system, CRISPR-Cas9, uses a guide RNA to direct a Cas9 enzyme to a specific location in DNA, which then cuts the DNA. This allows to inactivate, modify, or add to genes with a high degree of precision, with applications in treating genetic diseases, developing new diagnostics, and other research.

Our latest @Nature paper is out! We show that transplanting mitochondria into endothelial cells boosts their ability to form blood vessels in ischemic tissues, with mitophagy as the key mechanism. A potential game-changer for vascular cell therapies. https://t.co/ViscFIc9sv

Watch out for the genes you are researching!

[Itai Yanai @ItaiYanai]

Can not studying popular genes cost you your career?!
Check out how the probability of a junior scientist to transition to a principal investigator is lower if the genes they research are less studied. The overall decreasing probability is also really depressing! (from Fig. S10)
