We developed BLUsH to image optical signals throughout the mammalian brain using MRI. Thanks to NaN （李楠） and colleagues at the Jasanoff Lab MIT Dept of BE and MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences for the great work!
Daisy, who deserves a shout-out?
'My close friends in Course 20 and outside the major. Also shoutout to my professors and friends in my minor (Women's & Gender Studies).' MIT Gender Studies MIT School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences

New way to detect bioluminescence in the brain developed by Jasanoff Lab could enable exploration of the brain in great detail. Pictured are blood vessels that now appear bright red after transduction with a gene that gives them photosensitivity.

Very proud of this work by Caleb Perez! Elegantly combining elements of CAR screening and single cell genomics to give insight into how CAR composition affects T cell functional state, with a lot to learn about how to design CARs and the diversity possible for T cell function
Excited to share some of my PhD work was pre-printed! Using single-cell sequencing, we took a deep look at a library of CAR signaling architectures to try to identify signal-intrinsic drivers of CAR-T function🧵👇 Michael Birnbaum Koch Institute at MIT MIT Dept of BE
