New review on CRISPR therapies by me and Jennifer Doudna. Written for gen med & students to explain how CRISPR works, new tools, current trials. We hope it inspires young docs & new therapies! @doudna_lab Institute for Geographic Information Science @ucsf JAMA Network #medtwitter jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

First day of the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons (ACOS) Conference in Austin, TX. Successful day learning from osteopathic residents and surgeons ! ACOS-MSS #AcosInAustin

The benefit of having #cns2022 in our home city of SF is that a lab meeting of current lab members and alumni can spontaneously occur on the field at Oracle Park during the opening reception Meeki Lad, MPH Allie Zheng Elaina Wang Luis Carrete Austin Lui

My first CNS conference! Thanks to Manish Aghi, MD PhD and Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA for being such awesome mentors and for all the support so far! It was great meeting up with my fellow colleagues, making new friends, and presenting my research! #CNS2022

Thankful to be able to present our research on peri-operative outcomes in central cord vs non-central cord patients at the 2023 spine summit! As always, thanks to Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA for all the guidance! #2023spinesummit #DPSN

Great to see Austin Lui presenting our data on #DVT prophylaxis in spinal cord injury within the TRACK-SCI project. #CNS2023 UCSF Neurosurgery UCSF-Brain and Spinal Injury Center Sanjay S. Dhall, M.D.

Proud of Austin Lui and his excellent presentation about socioeconomic determinants of outcomes after spinal cord injury San Francisco Neurological Society UCSF Neurosurgery

Our next guest speaker at our Resident/Fellow Forum is Touro University TUW Medical Student Austin Lui, who will present, "Differences in Demographics, Clinical, and Functional Outcomes Between Medicaid Versus Private Insurance Patients with Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury." #SFNS2024

Can the neurological motor exam substitute for the ISNCSCI in spinal cord injury patients? Austin Lui presenting our data from TRACK-SCI showing that the two are highly correlated. This is important for expanding research to low-resource hospitals which can’t dedicate

Looking at this from an economic lens: Existing workforce (clinicians) can collect adequate motor score data for research. The marginal benefit of having trained ISNCSCI examiners collect motor scores is minimal. Yet the cost is immense. Sanjay S. Dhall, M.D. John Paul G. Kolcun

👏🏻Great work Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA doing the important work testifying before the US Senate Committee on the Budget to help alleviate burdens such as prior auth, meaningless “quality” measures, & inefficient health care regulations AANS AANS/CNS Spine Section Senate Budget Democrats UCSF Neurosurgery

Out today in Cancer Cell, Meeki Lad, MPH from my lab shows that skull bone marrow contributes "hybrid neutrophils" to GBM with antigen-presenting capacity allowing an anti-tumoral response. Intracalvarial AMD3100 releases these cells and prolongs survival! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Important paper we collab w Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA TRACK-SCI . ISCNSCI exams are time consuming , training is $$$ and limit successful data collection in #spinalcordinjury trials . Our co authors led by Austin Lui showed nearly identical correlation with neurosurgery motor exams (NME)!

Scientific community: "Why are certain socioeconomically disadvantaged groups under-represented in research studies?" Also, scientific community: "We want expensive and cumbersome outcome metrics that only ivory tower institutions can afford." It's important to utilize
