I’m thrilled that the next step towards bringing base editing to patients with BEAM-101 has begun. From the bench during my postdoc in @davidrliu’s lab, to advancing the tech to the bedside with @BeamTx, it has been a deeply humbling experience to be a part of this journey!
Although most RNA editing companies’ initial sights are set on treating genetic diseases, many are already dreaming up more creative applications of RNA editing, such as introducing mutations to disrupt interactions between proteins. https://t.co/S0Tp8e706R
Congrats to the newest recipients of the Chemical Biology Training Fellowship! This fellowship is made possible in part by an @NIH@NIGMS T32 training grant which aims to fund doctoral students conducting research at the interface of chemistry and biology.
Aggie alumni! Have you heard? @ucdavis ranks 4th among public universities on @Forbes America's Top Colleges list. #GoAgs! View the full list here: https://t.co/ER0T18wrC5
I'm ecstatic to share that the lab has officially received an NSF CAREER award!! The grant is for our first venture into molecular mechanisms underlying plant rhizosphere signaling as well as developing digital-resource driven CUREs for STEM transfer pathways! #asstproflife
Congratulations, Erin! This prestigious predoctoral fellowship will support her research on RNA editing for cancer treatment in the @peterabeal laboratory. #ProudOfOurStudents
Dramatic in vivo data from Intellia - congratulations to the entire team
A milestone in gene editing as a new era of programmable one-time medicines comes closer to reality
Dose, % knockdown, and safety all look very good!

On behalf of the Metals in Biology Community, I'm pleased to announce the 2022 Saltman Award Winners, Marie Heffern @marieheffern and Dan Suess @ChemistryMIT. This award honors the memory of Paul Saltman.
A day late in congratulating @davidrliu and co-authors for this magnificent work! Curing sickle cell with ABE is a dream of mine and each day we are all getting closer and closer! #ABE#baseediting
A team at Broad and @stjuderesearch used base editing to convert the mutation underlying sickle cell disease to a benign variant in an animal model — enabling long-lasting, healthy blood cell production. Read more about this @nature paper: https://t.co/s7656dihiK
Beautiful @nature paper from labs of David Liu and Mitch Weiss showing base editing correction of the sickle mutation, leading to lower sickling and improved hem parameters and splenic pathology. This is the same strategy we are employing in BEAM-102, heading to the clinic.
