Scientist-entrepreneur @FlagshipPioneer. Building the next generation of life science companies that will change human health and our planet. PhD @JohnsHopkins
BREAKING NEWS:
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”
Thrilled to announce that I have started as an Assistant Professor @UofUBiochem today! My lab will develop on-demand tools for precision genome manipulation and study DNA repair mechanisms in living systems. Hiring at all levels (postdoc, lab tech, grad, undergrad), please RT!
@moizali I took some very valuable workshops at Johns Hopkins with Yuval Bar-Or whose work is focused on the very problem you identify here. His website is a great place to start: https://t.co/cbIJhEBbR8
Flagship is honored to be named one of @FastCompany’s Most Innovative Companies of 2022, and number 2 on its North America list, recognizing companies making the biggest impact across industries and culture. #FCMostInnovative https://t.co/6vlOUiiCrV
Our new study by @JieunOh9@ericsongg@MiyuMoriyama et al shows that immune priming via intranasal route provides superior protection against heterologous respiratory virus challenge. The key is in inducing local secretory IgA with broader coverage. (1/)

Thrilled to see this paper finally out in @nature.
We all know about the overall beneficial effects of exercise, but little is known about the factors and mechanisms that mediate its effect on the brain

I’m super excited to share our work, out today @NatureBiotech: a new deep learning algorithm to accurately identify cells in imaging data! Our method works across image platforms, tissue types, and species with no fine-tuning required 🧵 https://t.co/VqgyccAy4q
My team has just updated our already large database of PhD/Graduate fellowships and graduate student research funding opportunities.
We found 200.
For each fellowship, we provide link, description, deadline, eligibility, etc.

Excited to share my work from @SchwartzLabMIT in @MITBiology titled “The cellular environment shapes the nuclear pore complex architecture” online today in @Nature! https://t.co/UhlHUSn8Z1 #cryo-EM #cryo-ET #TeamTomo#NPC 1/n
We all know companies are made up of people. I’m proud of the entire @FlagshipPioneer team whose willingness to ask “What if?” and whose unwavering dedication to taking bold, disruptive leaps makes our world-changing work possible. #ChangeTheWorld@FortuneMagazine
With PhD and MD/PhD admissions season kicking into gear, I have deeply mixed feelings about recruiting the next generation of trainees into the biosciences. Many do not realize that the biotech industry is in grave danger with vast swathes of research jobs in jeopardy.
