Happy to share the first pre-print from @ASAP_Research Team Rio! We show that prime editing (developed by @davidrliu and co.) can efficiently and precisely introduce or repair Parkinson's-associated mutations in human stem cells for disease modeling. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We are thrilled to be part of an ASAP funded project to decipher the functional genetics of Parkinson's disease in human brain organoids and mouse models. 5 lab collaboration with @HockemeyerLab, @LukeGilbertSF, Don Rio, and Frank Soldner. We are recruiting! More info soon.
In our global effort to promote even stronger collaboration, we’re enabling science to go further, faster by supporting diverse teams—each advancing targeted basic research to move us toward meaningful advancements in the fight against #Parkinsons disease.

The scientists who power the pipeline that powers the testing lab: @JRo_Hamilton @enrique_lins @AbbyLabbyUC @connortsuchida all @doudna_lab Dirk @HockemeyerLab Robots are only as good as the people who control them. By that criterion our robots are BRILLIANT. @berkeleyMCB

.@AbbyLabbyUC, a postdoc in @doudna_lab pre-pandemic, spent ~14 hrs (!) on Saturday (!!!) in the @igisci #IGICoronaTesting lab, alongside @JRo_Hamilton @enrique_lins @connortsuchida, running #SARSCov2 tests on specimens from all over CA. #FiatLux @berkeleyMCB @UCBerkeley
