Some update and GREAT NEWS I am happy to announce that I’ll be joining UTSW/CRI Children’s Research Institute at UT Southwestern as assistant professor in January 2024. The Shin lab will work at the intersection of lysosome signaling and lipid metabolism, particularly focusing on their implications in human diseases

Biotechnology has entered a period of rapid growth, where cellular engineering will touch every aspect of society. I look forward to working with my colleagues to lead MIT BE through this era. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) MIT Dept of BE

Thrilled to see this paper accepted in AdvancedMaterials @AdvSciNews In collaboration with Solorio Lab. Inspired by work of Nicholas A. Peppas, Agata Exner, PJ Flory and others. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/TMZQQHUU…

The lab has officially opened! #RNA #Newfaculty

Today we report in Nature Genetics a study led by the team of Jonathan Yen and Mitch Weiss St. Jude that characterizes Cas9 nuclease and adenine base editing strategies to induce fetal hemoglobin expression, clinical approaches to treat sickle-cell disease & beta-thalassemia. 1/10

RNA modifications in Enterococci! 🤩I'm truly excited about this work, a product of a very fun collaboration w/Pete Dedon Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) & led by Wei Lin Lee, raising many new Qs about epitranscriptomic regulation in our favorite🦠!
