Are tweeprints still a thing? Well if so -- feast your eyes on our latest application of CRISPR screening: scalable cell-type specific CRISPRi screens of endogenous cells in a live mouse brain. This is actually my first preprint as a first author so super excited to share it!

CRISPRi screens identified mitochondrial and UFMylation proteins as suppressors of tau oligomerization; stifling autophagy, vesicle trafficking, and ubiquitination encouraged it. UC San Francisco ow.ly/Iwnf50Pif9w

And that’s a wrap for Brain Camp @ UCSF 2023! It’s such a joy to be part of the camp as an outreach and admissions committee co-director. Seeing an incredible pool of URM students eager to learn about the brain makes me so hopeful about the future of STEM. 🧠#representationmatters
