Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI)

Calling all visual artists, animators, sci-fi writers, sound artists, architects, poets, game designers, & other creative practitioners! The IGI is teaming up with Stochastic Labs for a unique artist residency opportunity. Apply by Jan 4th #SciArt #SciComm https://t.co/a4V8eYalQJ

We are excited to announce a new project with @AstraZeneca, focused on identifying potential drug targets in DNA Damage Response (DDR), a pathway at the core of many cancers. https://t.co/NBevSPInxF This project will be led by Luke Gilbert and @shaheenkabir at @UCSF.

#MeetanIGIScientist: Our latest profile features Benny Ordoñez (@Bellaphyllis) from @lucacomai's lab at @ucdavis. Read about her journey from Peru to California, her scientific role models, and why a cow is eating her experiment. 😉 https://t.co/3FCnqOI0s2

Lay-friendly and nuanced discussion about the extremely troubling #CRISPR baby news on @KQEDForum this morning. IGI scientists Alex Marson and Fyodor Urnov joined Marcy Darnovsky for a great segment. 🎧 Listen to it here: https://t.co/FfxThAe8cs

🎉 Congrats to IGI Investigator Savithramma Dinesh-Kumar from @ucdavis for being newly elected as a @AAAS Fellow! https://t.co/ut4S08Aq59 Read how Dr. Dinesh-Kumar and his team are developing non-transgenic methods to deliver CRISPR-Cas9 into plants. 🌱 https://t.co/P3jhCikTXk

🎧: IGI scientists @MarsonLab and Fyodor Urnov on @KQEDForum now! KQED @KQED🎧 ON AIR: Scientist He Jiankui said he altered a gene in the embryos of twin girls to make them resistant to H.I.V. @KQEDForum 88.5 FM talks about the future and ethics of using gene editing tools. https://t.co/oTVLAFMiYR https://t.co/OpgSaZ2Lw0

Silver lining of the day: Talented high school biology teachers like @willida25 are using the #CRISPR baby news to engage their students in grounded ethical discussions. Bravo! Daniel Williams @willida25@igisci Actually spent a lot of time on today's news in my classes! This was a great conversation starter about the promise/perils of CRISPR-edited babies also the ETHICS of this study -appears to be no relevant medical threat averted like sickle cell or muscular dys -great discussions
