🥳🥳 Welcome to the team!
Incredibly proud to share that I recently joined @UCSF_BTS @UCSF as an Assistant Professor! This means that the Calderon Lab is now open! Or, more accurately, in the process of opening as I am still unboxing equipment and unraveling giant posters (a last @JSHendure lab gift) 🥳

*Preprint Alert* This one’s in a new area for the lab: phage editing! We're using retrons to produce recombineering donors ~inside~ bacterial hosts. A wild-type phage infects the host and an edited phage comes out. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

In-center #hemodialysis, which is what most people receive, is a poor substitute for living kidneys, says UCSF’s Shuvo Roy, technical director of the @KidneyProject, which is working to bring an implantable bioartificial kidney to patients. ucsfh.org/3J2VEUf #WorldKidneyDay
