Today we report in Science Magazine a one-time base editing treatment for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), the leading genetic cause of infant mortality worldwide, affecting ~1 in 10,000 births. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… PDF: drive.google.com/file/d/1H1k8AA… 1/17








Congratulations Danny Saban on receiving the Cogan award! Very well deserved!


The other paper from the Meyer Lab is more recent and demonstrates the potential of assembled organoid cultures (assembloids) to enhance modeling human visual system development. tinyurl.com/crenbnhz. #SCRTurns10. Martin Pera ISSCR Cell Press


A challenge in cell-based therapy is predicting cell type-specific differentiation capacity in newly generated iPSCs. #NEIfunded study addresses this: identifies 14 predictive genes. @ChoroidLab Budd A. Tucker UIowa Eye STEM CELLS Translational Medicine: academic.oup.com/stcltm/article…




So awesome to be featured alongside frank lovicu and Budd A. Tucker in the Tourism Queensland's video on the Gold Coast as a fantastic venue for hosting conferences. Had an absolute blast here for the recent ISER meeting! youtube.com/watch?v=_1qA2B…


Closing tomorrow: We're looking for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Retinal Cell Biology to join the Burgoyne lab at the IoO. Study the role of membrane contact sites between mitochondria and the plasma membrane within retinal cells. Ophthalmology buff.ly/3O5tVoD
