Congratulations to Dr. Alexis Guenther on the successful defense of her PhD dissertation! I am grateful to have had the opportunity to supervise her as my first graduate student! I should get more photos of her, but I can’t wait and am just posting this now! @AlexisGuenther1

I don't understand how someone can read this and not think that the American biomedical research system is a modern miracle that should be protected at all costs

In a medical milestone, a customized base editor was developed, characterized in human and mouse cells, tested in mice, studied for safety in non-human primates, cleared by @US_FDA for clinical trial use, manufactured as a complex with an LNP, and dosed into a baby with a severe, rapidly progressing genetic disease... all in an astounding 7 months. Best of all, the infant patient shows apparent benefit. Congratulations to @kiranmusunuru, Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas, and other team members for this heroic and inspiring effort, which has implications for the hundreds of millions of patients that suffer from thousands of genetic diseases. drive.google.com/file/d/1Jfk…

The PI of a research lab in academia is the CEO/CSO/CFO combined, and this is on target for that as well. There is no substitute for hustle when you are a PI. The most successful colleagues I see at Anderson are the ones sending me 1AM or 4AM emails. I wish I had their energy!
