Super fun presenting at the #ASH25 “game of clones” session. Was a great set of presentations that ran the gamut of #CHIPsm
Great to have the support of my forever mentors and collaborators @Goodell_Lab and @TheKingLab

Harvard chemist and molecular biologist David Liu invented gene editing tools that can correct and rewrite defective genes. His research could one day help hundreds of millions of people with genetic diseases, including sickle cell and muscular dystrophy. cbsn.ws/4oyLApL

After leukemia treatments failed, Alyssa Tapley, at age 13, was told she would die. Then, doctors tried an experimental gene-edited therapy. She became the first human to try the treatment made possible by U.S. federal funding. Now 16, she’s cancer-free and planning her future. cbsn.ws/4ou0OMt

Please check out or new paper describing a novel relationship between DNMT3A and telomeres. It truly was a team effort !
Even better when your former @Goodell_Lab baymate @TheKingLab publishes in @CellStemCell in the same issue!
