A great achievement and milestone!

Super proud of the work by Vaishnavi Iyer developing antisense oligonucleotides to modulate T-cell activation. Great collaboration with labs at Karolinska Institutet and NTU, Singapore.

I’m delighted to share the work led by Yunbing Shen, with help from especially Long Jiang and Vaishnavi Iyer.

“A rapid CRISPR competitive assay for in vitro and in vivo discovery of potential drug targets affecting the hematopoietic system”

CRISPR never generates a uniform genotype which complicates analyzing the targeted gene’s role without establishing clonal lines. Here we give examples of how the generated genetic heterogeneity can be leveraged for discovery –> RCC!

Very interesting study from Xiang X et al. about gRNA efficiency prediction, including a web based software CRISPRon for gRNA design (https://rth.dk/resources/crispr/crispron/).
