The first Rubin-@thecresslab holiday cookie swap!!! 🍪🎄🎅 Two labs of talented scientists and even more talented bakers 🤓
Happy Halloween from the Rubin Lab and @thecresslab! 🎃 Watch out for banana peels in the lab bay! 🚗🍌🍄
The lab had an awesome time repping the Super Mario Universe at the 25th Annual @berkeleyMCB Halloween Party!
Huge thank you to @GlennRamit from the IGI Comms team for the amazing photos as always! 🌟
The Rubin Lab had an amazing time at Inside @igisci Climate 2024 earlier this month! 🌎✨ Big shoutout to @Amanda_T_Alker, @arora_jigyasa, and Bingliang for their fantastic posters!

Paraphrasing Gandhi:
"Be the edit you want to see in the world."
An actionable path to vigorous expansion of CRISPR cures in the next 5 years exists and is being actively pursued - eg by @somaticediting and @igisci x @DanaherCorp. Read below (it's free). 🙏 @CRISPRjournal.
We are indebted to @UrnovFyodor for this indispensable 6,000-word guest editorial in the latest issue of The @CRISPRjournal :
"Give Cas a Chance: An Actionable Path to a Platform for CRISPR Cures."

The biochemist Jennifer Doudna—who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, in 2020—reveals a few books that she thinks best equip one to understand the promise and potential peril of the gene-editing revolution. nyer.cm/qtzWnvI
We love the Rubin-Cress team! 🧑🔬✨
Huge congrats to @Amanda_T_Alker and @LeoCTSong! So excited about the awesome collaboration between the Rubin and Cress Lab. Love seeing our fellow researchers shine! 🎉 Cheers @therubinlab 🥂

Very excited to share this work identifying host factors crucial for type I-F CRISPR-associated transpose integration co-led by me and @Amanda_T_Alker. Much thanks to all the amazing co-authors, collaborators, and funders who made this project possible! @therubinlab @igisci
I'm excited to share the 1st preprint from @therubinlab, co-led by @LeoCTSong and I. We performed RB-TnSeq to identify host genes important for CRISPR-associated transposon (CAST) integration. The screen was leveraged to improve CAST editing in bacteria.
