HHMI News: A team led by @shbordbar and HHMI Investigator Pardis Sabeti has discovered a better way to target gene therapy for muscular dystrophy. bit.ly/3l65by1

A team of #Harvard students assembled by Sharif Tabebordbar in sabeti_lab, together with Prof. Amy Wagers, has developed a way to deliver #gene repairs that specifically target muscle tissue. This #breakthrough will help remedy degenerative muscle diseases. harvardmagazine.com/2021/09/gene-t…

.Sharif Tabebordbar, a research fellow in sabeti_lab, led a team that developed #MyoAAV, a new #genetherapy tool for delivering therapeutic genes that could make future therapies for genetic muscle diseases like #MuscularDystrophy safer and more effective. broad.io/MyoAAV

I am super excited to finally announce I am starting my lab at UM SchoolofDentistry ! Broadly, we will seek to understand the molecular responses of bone cells, both to osteoporosis drugs, as well as how they sense and regulate organismal mineral metabolism.

Thank you NIH Director for highlighting how #MyoAAV can address major challenges for developing safe and potent gene therapies for genetic myopathies.

📢We are hiring! We’re looking for postdocs who are excited about uncovering mysteries of development using cutting edge spatial methods, including imaging based barcoding and spatial transcriptomics. If this is you, please reach out! [email protected]

Thank you Gina Kolata and The New York Times for sharing my story. I’m humbled and I hope it inspires more folks affected by genetic disease to make a step towards therapeutic development. Thank you Pardis Sabeti and Broad Institute for enabling this progress. tinyurl.com/y7ax8jnz

Honored to represent Broad Institute in the 2021 class of STAT wunderkids among such brilliant peers. Grateful to Pardis Sabeti, HSCRB, Harvard University, and HHMI for their support over the years. statnews.com/wunderkinds/sh…

Creative Promise Prizewinner Hani Goodarzi was born in Tehran, Iran. His passion for #datascience and #computationalbiology led him to take a uniquely multidisciplinary approach to #cancerresearch. Check out our profile on the @ucsf prof. + exai bio founder. vilcek.co/2022vfpgoodarz…

Thank you Quinn Emmett 🌎 and Important, Not Important 🌎 for giving me the opportunity to increase awareness about genetic diseases and gene therapy. Great podcast! Thanks for all you do.

Honored to be listed in Endpoints News 20 under 40 in biopharma along with my brilliant friends Jonathan Gootenberg and Omar Abudayyeh. Incredibly grateful to my mentors and colleagues.

“The Iranian people are fed up,” says Holly Dagres. “We’re actually seeing Iranian women take off their headscarves… and yell from the top of their lungs that they no longer want an Islamic Republic. "We’re hearing words but no action” from the international community.

Excellent video on how to help #IranProtests #MahsaAmini Thank you Nazanin Nour

"Women in Iran are chanting death to the dictator in front of the dictator's troops, that's the definition of the bravery" #Mahsa_Amini #oplran #مهسا_امینی

Niagara Falls will be illuminated tonight at 8:30pm in green, white and red, for 22 minutes, in memory of Mahsa Amini.

Iranian female athletes have been required since 1979 to compete while wearing the mandatory hejab. As far as I know Elnaz Rekabi is the first to ignore this requirement. She got to the final round of the Asian Climbing Competitions, finishing in 4th place

For Shervin, for Toomaj, for Fereydoon Farokhzad, for all the artists being killed, tortured, or imprisoned by the Islamic Regime. #IRGCterrorists #IranRevolution #MahsaAmini

Preclinical data from Kate Therapeutics at #ASGCT24 show it's possible to achieve high microdystrophin expression in non-human primate muscle and heart, without causing liver tox. Hopes rise for next-generation DMD gene therapies. buff.ly/3UssLqc
