Today we report in Cell a suite of engineered and PACE-evolved prime editor variants PE6a-g. These new prime editors improve the activity, in vivo deliverability, and in vivo editing efficiency of prime editing. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… PDF:drive.google.com/file/d/11959ct… (1/15)

This makes my day: PE-eVLPs for transient & pseudotypable protein transduction!🤩 Combine this shuttle with potent gene editing cargo and you arrive at the holy grail for therapeutic and model-building genome editing!🫢🧬 Congrats Liu lab!👏

Last night I was honored to receive the 2025 #BreakthroughPrize in the Life Sciences, reflecting the efforts of many students, collaborators, doctors, and patients in labs around the world. I hope this 4-minute excerpt can inspire when science needs public support more than ever.
