'What we're endeavoring to do is by no means guaranteed to succeed — and it wouldn't be as exciting if it was.' Jay Shendure discusses Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology w/TechCrunch Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Allen Institute UW Medicine techcrunch.com/2023/12/07/sea…


However, amidst the myriad of predicted RBPs, it's unclear which ones affect exon inclusion directly. Our latest research Nature Biotechnology evaluates hundreds of RNA binding proteins for their role in enhancing exon inclusion. link.springer.com/article/10.103…




Interested in segmentation? In this Review we integrate in vivo and in vitro studies to detail mechanisms of somite formation in the early embryo. Give it a read, we'll guide you through the fascinating process of somitogenesis! Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology nature.com/articles/s4158…



Excited to have lineage motifs out in the world. Hoping the concept and methods can be useful in various developmental systems as more lineage data become available. Congratulations to Martin Tran and Amjad Askary on the work, and thanks to Adara Koivula and Inna-Marie for

Excited to share our human RA-gastruloid model in Nature Cell Biology! Early retinoic acid supplementation, followed by later Matrigel addition, robustly induces human embryonic morphologies and diverse cell lineages, including somitic, renal, cardiac, and neural cell types in


I am so thrilled to share our work of human RA gastruloid finally out on Nature Cell Biology. It has been a wonderful journey to work with a fantastic stem cell scientist Nobu Hamazaki and many talented collaborators in Jay Shendure lab. Excited to contribute to the field of stembryo!

Very happy to share our latest w/ Devin Schweppe and Nobu Hamazaki labs, where we map the temporal dynamics and proteomic landscape of mammalian gastruloids. Sneek Peak 🧵below #stembryo #gastruloid #proteomics biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Incredibly proud to share that I recently joined UCSF Bioengineering & Therapeutic Sciences UC San Francisco as an Assistant Professor! This means that the Calderon Lab is now open! Or, more accurately, in the process of opening as I am still unboxing equipment and unraveling giant posters (a last @JSHendure lab gift) 🥳
