Check out TPCB student Christian F. Baca's latest paper in Cell! Christian discovered a new mechanism by which bacteria fight viral pathogens. This work was completed through a collaboration with the Marraffini, Patel, and Brady labs at Rockefeller and MSK lnkd.in/eXT4j4iK


Thrilled to share that I’ve been named an HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow! 🎉 I’m so excited to be joining this incredible community of scientists. Many thanks to @HHMINews for this opportunity and my mentors Lydia Finley and @MarraffiniLab ! #HannaGrayFellows


Very happy to share our new review in Molecular Cell covering nucleic acid recognition and effector mechanisms for various prokaryotic immune systems! Was a great experience creating this with @MarraffiniLab! cell.com/molecular-cell…


Know the feeling when two things look similar, and yet turn out to be quite different? Seems like defense-associated reverse transcriptases will continue to surprise us... Another thrilling story uncovered in collaboration with Wiedenheft Lab! Check it out:

CRISPR associated filament networks providing antiviral immunity! I am very excited to share our recent work co-led by amazing Christian F. Baca and me. The work is now online in Science Magazine! Science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share our last collab paper, now out in print Science Magazine!🎉 We reveal how dITP synthesis activates a SIR2 NADase effector to block phage infection! 🛡️🧬 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…




A study from the #MarraffiniLab in Science Magazine shows that newly discovered weapons of bacterial self-defense take different approaches to achieving the same goal: preventing a virus from spreading through the bacterial population. Learn more: bit.ly/4dvmBij

Take a look on our recent work on expanding the CRISPR-toolbox! The work is highlighted by The Rockefeller University! Huge thanks to the co-lead author Christian F. Baca, Dinshaw Patel lab (MSKCC) and Luciano Marraffini lab (RU)! rockefeller.edu/news/37733-res…

Rockefeller's Luciano Marraffini has been named a member of the 2025 Class of #GreatImmigrants, Great Americans by the Carnegie Corporation of New York! Born in Argentina, Luciano is recognized for his work on CRISPR-Cas systems. Congrats! For more details, see: carnegie.org/awards/award/g…
