Thrilled to share my first postdoc paper in ⁦nature⁩! We present a new RNA-guided system, Fanzor. Heartfelt thanks to ⁦Feng Zhang⁩ , Makoto, & team ⁦Broad Institute⁩, and cryo-EM facilities ⁦NYU Langone Health⁩ and ⁦MIT.nano⁩. nature.com/articles/s4158…

A new preprint from my lab at UChicago (joint work with Nianchao Qian) images 3D specimens from the "inside-out", complete with nucleotide-level genomic detail. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to announce the opening of the Strecker lab at MGH Molecular Biology/CCIB and HMS Genetics. I am tremendously grateful to all of my labmates who have helped me over the years, my past mentors Daniel Durocher and Feng Zhang, and my new colleagues Dept. of Molecular Biology, MGH for the opportunity!

An exciting day ahead celebrating the 40th anniversary of CEE and excellence in science, with friends, colleagues, and leaders.

Had a blast diving deep into discussions on leadership, community, culture, and scientific vision at the Broad Institute's annual faculty retreat. Also, that engineering challenge was a fun twist! 🧪

Inspiring words for a contemplative Saturday afternoon...

Thrilled to announce our latest exploration of CRISPR! By developing an advanced algorithm, we’ve analyzed 8 terabases of microbial data, leading to the discovery of over 200 novel CRISPR systems. Kudos to Han Altae-Tran and Soumya Kannan for their exceptional work! Details in the

A beautiful bridging (pun intended) of basic science and technology!

Congratulations to the 2024 class of Regeneron #sciencetalentsearch finalists - inspirations and hopes for the future. Keep persevering, keep shining! Society for Science

Very cool - rejuvenation of the immune system! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Inspiring visit at the Arc Institute today with Patrick Hsu & Silvana Konermann. Thoughtful vision, exciting science, and amazing potential.

Congratulations to all of the graduates during this commencement season! Wishing you all a creative and fulfilling future!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ "What you follow with your heart will indeed come back to make your life much richer."

Nature is amazing! Congratulations to Max Wilkinson and team on a beautiful study revealing a clever way that bacteria defend against viruses. Check out Max’s posts for more detail! doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Excited to see our team’s work on Fanzor now published in Cell! Amazing effort by Peiyu Xu and the entire team in uncovering the structural diversity and DNA cutting mechanisms of Fanzor. Proud of everyone involved! Onward to more discoveries. 🚀
