Just out: Read our preprint on optimisation of base editors to engineer specific mutations and inactivate genes in animals.

Great work by @RomanMDoll and Fillip Port @crisprflydesign

I was teaching in our #GenomeEngineering session of our MRC HGU graduate course about applications of #CRISPR technology, potential & limitations of #GenomeSurgery for #RareDisease on Monday- this excellent #ThoughtPiece by @urnov perfectly argued current #hurdles to applying revolutionary treatments because the regulatory, ethical and financial frameworks are moving slower than the tech- not for the benefit of patients. We need a new model for genomic medicines.

Hello everyone! 👋
It's time for an #introduction !

I'm currently a postdoc in the Department of Biochemistry #Cambridge.
Previously, I studied (PhD+postdoc) #mitochondria #RNA #translation at the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit #Cambridge

I use wet and dry lab methods #genetics #genomeengineering #biochemistry #structuralbiology #cryoEM to address unsolved biological mysteries 👀

Outside of the lab, you can find me baking, doing photography, ceramics, oil painting and/or taking care of plants.
