Arc Institute’s Post

A new generation of young scientists trained in top CRISPR labs are leading the charge in gene editing. Among them are 10 U.S.-based researchers including... 🧑🔬 Jonathan Gootenberg & Omar Abudayyeh, Molecular engineers, Harvard Medical School - These two do almost everything together, including running their own joint lab at Harvard Med focused on developing tools capable of tackling some of the field’s toughest problems. 🧑🔬 Patrick Hsu, Assistant professor of bioengineering, University of California, Berkeley; Co-founder, Arc Institute - Hsu has become a leader in merging machine intelligence with biology to mine for and design new CRISPR systems. 🧑🔬 Britt Adamson, Assistant professor of molecular biology, Princeton University - Since starting her own lab at Princeton, Adamson has continued to develop cutting-edge genomics tools, both for screening and editing. 🧑🔬 Alex Marson, Director, Gladstone-UCSF Institute of Genomic Immunology (Gladstone Institutes); and scientific director of human health, Innovative Genomics Institute - Marson has worked out ways to deliver CRISPR systems to specific cell types in vivo, using a combination of antibodies and cell-penetrating peptides. 🧑🔬 Krishanu Saha, Associate professor of biomedical engineering and medical history and bioethics, University of Wisconsin-Madison - Saha is leading a five-year, $29 million NIH project to develop CRISPR-based treatments for two inherited eye conditions that cause blindness.
