UNC Gillings School of Public Health is eliminating their Health Equity & Social Justice Concentration. This program is home to many of my friends — some of the most thoughtful, caring, and innovative researchers I know.

Exploring the Cytoplasmic Retention of CRISPR-Cas9 in Eukaryotic Cells: The Role of Nuclear Localization Signals and Ribosomal Interactions | The CRISPR Journal
Cas9 must be localized to the nucleus to access the genome of mammalian cells. For most proteins, adding a single nuclear localization signal (NLS) is sufficient to promote nuclear entry. However, Cas...

I think it’s quite fitting that my first Bluesky post is this: sharing a piece many years in the making with one of my phenomenal dissertation advisors, Eric Juengst. I hope this can contribute to ongoing conversations around PGE as it inches toward the clinic. Interested to hear your thoughts!
