Tomorrow @ 8am #AAIC2025 I'll present work on genetic risk mechanisms in #MS #AD using #CRISPR screens in #microglia. Come see poster as well until 4:30! Co-led by @xochitl-luna.bsky.social, Jaenisch/Corradin labs @whiteheadinstitute.bsky.social. Link to paper: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
Functional genomic dissection of MS risk loci reveals convergence of cis and trans gene regulatory mechanisms in microglia
Neurological diseases (NDs) are a major source of unmet medical need, and translational insights have been hampered by complex underlying pathophysiologies and limitations of experimental models. Nonc...

Linde Jacobs’s mother died after a genetic mutation gradually laid waste to her brain. Now the same gene is coming for her own mind. Can she find a way to stop it?

Glad to be here. I'm a postdoc @whiteheadinstitute.bsky.social @mitofficial.bsky.social in the labs of Rudolf Jaenisch and Rick Young, using iPSC models of neurons and glia to better understand their role in health and disease.
