Thanks to our ❤️ beloved labmate & illustrator genius @joyehorng for the PHENOMENAL JoungLab website redesign jounglab.org 🧬
Super excited to unveil the revamped website of @JoungLab! Designed and built by the amazingly talented Joy Horng who combined my love of science & comics, created all the graphics, and even built her own comic book-style font!! Check it out here: jounglab.org

It was so nice to have the @JoungLab annual holiday party last night in person and before the holidays for the first time in three years! We missed those of you who weren't able to join us and thanks so much to Dylan Smith for organizing this special event.

Nyla reporting in from #cshlcrispr22! I was looking through the @JoungLab Addgene webpage, in preparation for today's 2 pm talk by Dr. Joung on CRISPR prime editing, and found their delightful lab webpage hubs.la/Q01kGVDN0. The quotes are hilarious!

Was great to finally (after a ~2.5 year hiatus) have the @JoungLab gather in person on Monday night for our annual summer party. Had a wonderful dinner at Davio's in the Seaport with both current and previous lab members. Thanks to Dylan for organizing this memorable event! (1/3)

Our department held a pumpkin carving contest yesterday and some members of the @JoungLab won with this pumpkin! I have to admit that my face on a pumpkin is not something I ever imagined I would see...! 😂(Thanks to @ReganSzalay for the pictures.)

Thrilled to share (a few days late) our work describing how to more consistently activate human genes from enhancer and other distal sequences using CRISPR activators (published in Nature Methods nature.com/articles/s41592-0… free link: rdcu.be/csoDt ). In it, we tackle..1/9
