I ❤️ writing intros to papers/grants. If you don't, here's my approach, which (for me!) makes intros more fun to write: 1. What's the problem/why do we care? 2. What do we know re: solving the problem? 3. What don't we know? Why not? 4. We tested X to fill the gaps from '3' 🧵

As Beam recently has revealed more details of its future development plan for sickle cell disease (SCD), it is a good time to review the current status and predict the future landscape of treating SCD with CTX001 using CRISPR/Cas9 and BEAM-101/102 using ABE.

An escape room for academics: you have to finish your paper.

Had the pleasure to tour the amazing SAHMRI building today. Wonderful research happening right here in SA by this dedicated team. Can’t wait for the Braag Centre for Proton Therapy, the first in Australia, to be completed next year 🙂 #Research #AwardWinning #Architecture

Really grateful to be one of the awardee. This will enable me to research on improving CRISPR gene editing technology. Thanks to my supervisor Paul Thomas, students working on this project Caleb Lushington Ashleigh Geiger Jayshen Arudkumar, Josh, and the other lab members and beyond

⏰PAGING ALL academics and students interested in enhancing their CV! Come along next Thursday to engage with Sanuja Fernando, @DrBPana and Dr_IlaPagani as they share some handy academic tips on bettering your resume! SAHMRI 🧑‍🔬📜

BREAKING NEWS: The 2022 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Svante Pääbo “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.”

Last week I had the incredible opportunity on updating the wider SAHMRI community on some exciting #CRISPR research! Props to my awesome supervisor Fatwa Adikusuma PhD! 👨‍🔬🏆 Such a great experience to present alongside some wonderful lab mates Ashleigh Geiger, Luke and Josh!

Such a privilege to be able to share some #CRISPR research at the SAHMRI research showcase, where we saw a great lineup of speakers from diverse disciplines. A huge thanks to the PQT lab for all the support! 🏆👨‍🔬 SAHMRI Student Association

What Happens in HEK293, Stays in HEK293

Rules: 1. Player one serves up something they are grateful for. 2. Player 2 must “return” the gratitude with something they are grateful for. 3. Repeat “serving” gratitudes back to all the players until the 3-min timer goes off.

Really grateful to receive this award. Thanks SAHMRI. Also thanks to my mentors, students, lab members and collaborators. Without you this is impossible. This will be the last award in my journey as ECR since I'll be entering my MCR journey starting next year. Exciting.

Sending off CRISPR gene editing constructs for collaborator in the US. Happy to help them trying to fix disease causing mutations. If you need gene editing advice, reach us out. We might be able to help. Base editing, prime editing, prime integrase for large KI, we cover them all

Work by Jayshen, PhD student in our lab who treated patient cells with CRISPR gene editing and successfully restore the protein expression. Kudos Jay. Can't wait to get this published. NB: the one without band is the untreated patient cells.

What a privilege it was to speak at International Congress of Genetics 2023 in Melbourne! I got to share some exciting CRISPR-DMD research with fellow geneticists! A big shoutout to Noam Shomron and Sue Fletcher for being amazing convenors for this Precision medicine session. #ICG2023 SAHMRI Student Association

"Dear PLOS ONE, if our manuscript doesn't align with your scope, we kindly request transferring it to PLOS TWO. Alternatively, consider PLOS THREE. Warm regards."

Excited to share that our study on generating a humanized DMD mouse model using CRISPR has been published! This model will be instrumental in advancing research for potential therapies. Huge thanks to the team for their dedication! #CRISPR #DMD #Research bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Huge congratulations to Jayshen Arudkumar Jayshen Arudkumar, PhD candidate researching new ways to harness CRISPR-Cas9, on submitting his thesis! A major milestone toward pushing the boundaries of genome editing. 🎉 SAHMRI #Thesis #PhDLife #CRISPR #Congratulations
