Congratulations to PhD Candidate Nourhan Shalaby on her latest publication entitled "Complementary early-phase magnetic particle imaging and late-phase positron emission tomography reporter imaging of mesenchymal stem cells in vivo" now available online!

The 4th and final project of my PhD is in-print at last! 😍 "A Genetically Encoded MRI Reporter Enables Sensitive Detection and Tracking of Spontaneous Metastases in Deep Tissues." So proud of the imaging capabilities we achieved. The Robarts Cellular and Molecular Imaging Group 💙 aacrjournals.org/cancerres/arti…

Congratulations to Chroma co-founder, J. Keith Joung, on receiving the sex Outstanding Achievement Award for his pioneering contributions to the field of gene and cell therapy! We are grateful for his continued engagement with Chroma and are excited to join him at #ASGCT23.

Great working with Gabriel Benigno Roberto Budzinski, and the team Salk Institute Zac Davis and John Reynolds, on this paper published Nature Communications! Waves traveling over a map of visual space can ignite short-term predictions of sensory input Link: rdcu.be/dd8FA

🎙️ New podcast episode is out! Hear, hear and learn (so much!) about #SyntheticBiology, #synNotch & cell-cell-comms from the famous Mikhail Shapiro (same on bsky) 🇺🇦 around a paper by the team of @John_A_Ronald! And discover why Tim Witney dreams of jumping sheep 🐑... e-smi.eu/podcast/

First approval for a #CRISPR therapy in the world. UK MHRA has authorized Exagamglogene autotemcel (Casgevy) this morning. What a historic and uplifting day for patients and for the gene & cell therapy field. gov.uk/government/new…

Proud of Jerry Fu for his first first-author paper!! Here, he extended the Synthetic Notch system to develop a simple blood test to monitor cell-cell interactions. From high school to grad school, glad to have worked with you!

Exciting milestone for the field!

Excited to share our review of the most recent developments in the #CRISPR prime editing field – great teamwork with Julian Grünewald. insights.bio/cell-and-gene-…

.J. Keith Joung writing here. Excited to reveal that after 22+ years of research at MGH with all of our incredible colleagues and collaborators there, I and nearly all members of the The Joung Lab moved to Arena BioWorks last September. Arena is a...(1/2)

Super excited to see all the amazing science from your lab!! Huge congratulations 🙌

We're hiring Research Associates/Techs Arena BioWorks to work on gene editing tech dev projects. As it was for many who worked in my former MGH Pathology lab, it's an opportunity to gain outstanding scientific training & mentoring for graduate school. linkedin.com/jobs/view/3860…

Thrilled to be a part of this amazing team!!!

Excited to share a new preprint (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) describing Precision Editing of Regulatory Sequences to Induce Stable Transcription-On (PERSIST-On), a hit-and-run strategy that enables robust and stable heritable gene activation in human cells. 1/15

Great fun & very exciting to finally unveil Nvelop Therapeutics's DLVR-M platform with co-inventor Peter Cabeceiras at #ASGCT2024 in Baltimore last week. DLVR-M is based on work originally done by Peter during his Ph.D. work in my lab at the @MGH_RI. linkedin.com/posts/nveloptx…

Congrats Diogo and co-authors!!

Delighted to share this news. Combining SeQureDx’s & Integrated DNA Technologies's innovative technologies will enhance precision and safety in gene editing, bringing transformative solutions to researchers and patients worldwide. #CRISPR #GeneEditing

Can we make Acoustic Proteins with different "colors" the way the developers of GFP made BFP, YFP, etc?🌈 Yes, via #directedevolution of #gasvesicles! Congrats to Nivin N. Nyström et al on the first GVs multiplexed based on nonlinear response to ultrasound. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
