IGI researcher @MarshallJohnM, @Omar_Akbari_, and other @ucsdbiosciences researchers, have developed a new #CRISPR-based method to reduce the populations of invasive fruit flies that cost millions in crop loss🍓🍑🍇. Learn more: https://t.co/1E3X2IidoW

Ten years ago today, the ground-breaking Jinek et al. paper was published! Learn about the key #CRISPR experiment in this great resource from @ExploreBiology written by Jennifer Doudna (@doudna_lab), @MartinJinek and IGI alum @kevdox: https://t.co/bOP6911Y2D #OTD

2022 WIES Fellow @LinDu_LD, a postdoc in the @nanoassembly lab, aims to develop synthetic DNA biosensors for simultaneous detection of hundreds of viruses species. Learn more: https://t.co/ZIGvIGABgg

"At some level, we’re all scientists, because being a scientist is about being curious about our natural world. That’s true whether we’re studying black holes or slime molds or working on #CRISPR." More from @doudna_lab in this interview in @nytimes: https://t.co/y2c2IprhJc

Meet Navneet Matharu: https://t.co/eUmhzmuBxT As a WIES Fellow, @navneetkmatharu of @ucsfpharmacy is working to target genetic diseases caused by gene dosage defects, where a copy of a gene is inactivated or deleted, resulting in physiological symptoms. #WomenInSTEM

New from @doudna_lab, @pdhsu, and @SavageCatsOnly: a sensitive #CRISPR-based diagnostic test for #COVID-19 with results in less than an hour – and no nose swab! 🚫👃 Learn more: https://t.co/BPCKzLHjmq

IGI researcher Anders Näär has created an inhaled #COVID-19 therapeutic that uses short snippets of synthetic DNA to sop the virus from replicating. Learn more: https://t.co/5w5fUGDSdD

Congratulations to @navneetkmatharu, Lin Du & @JRo_Hamilton – IGI's 2022 HS Chau Women in Enterprising Science Fellows! Each is receiving seed funding and mentorship to grow new ventures around promising genomic biotechnologies. Learn more: https://t.co/bAVBUj1gg7
