Latest CRISPR news -> shorturl.at/fDIS7 🚀Amber Bio launches with an oversubscribed $26M seed financing round, which will be used to develop RNA-editing therapies for previously undruggable diseases. Co-founded by Basem Al-Shayeb, Ph.D. & Jacob Borrajo, & they are #hiring

By targeting RNA rather than DNA, Amber Bio aims to treat multiple genetic diseases with fewer safety risks. trib.al/HOxDx7z

Newco news: With $26M in funding, RNA editing firm Amber Bio targets diverse mutations bioworld.com/articles/69970… #biotech #pharma

CRISPR and splicing together at last! Congrats Basem Al-Shayeb, Ph.D. 🧬 !

This is SO COOL. It's like RNA editing on steroids!

Cool work! Cas mediated splicing between transcripts!

Neat, splice swapping for RNA editing

Beautiful work—potentially a game-changer! Congrats to the whole team!

CRISPR-Cas and Splicing at kilo base level 🤩🤯👨🏻‍🔬👩‍🔬🧬

Excited to share our recent study describing a new gene editing approach capable of extensive multi-kilobase edits. When DNA is giving you problems look into the RNA. Much more to come, so stay tuned. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We're on a mission to develop intrepid new approaches to RNA medicines. Towards commercialization, we’ve announced the launch of Amber Bio this ~AUG~, with funding from visionary teams at Playground Global, a16z, Eli Lilly and Company & more. If this work interests you, we're hiring!

Thanks to Julia Bauman for this neat recap of our recent work! Stay tuned for updates 🙂

Had a blast interviewing Basem Al-Shayeb, Ph.D. 🧬 at our Berkeley SkyDeck x a16z Bio + Health student mixer last night. From spotting a synthetic biology flyer in undergrad to quickly becoming a trailblazing scientist-entrepreneur in that field -- what a remarkable journey it's been 🚀UC Berkeley

Thanks Basem Al-Shayeb, Ph.D. 🧬 for a great seminar on engineered trans-splicing. Great our alumni crushing it UMN CBS

Thanks Building Better Bugs for the invite! It was wonderful to share some of our work and hear from faculty and students. Till next time!

A great day for RNA, and for groundbreaking science performed at biotech companies! #NobelPrize
