Congrats to MCB Prof Jennifer Doudna on receiving an Inspire Award for transforming UC Berkeley lab space to process #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 tests. bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/n… via San Francisco Business Times

.@AbbyLabbyUC, a postdoc in @doudna_lab pre-pandemic, spent ~14 hrs (!) on Saturday (!!!) in the Institute for Geographic Information Science #IGICoronaTesting lab, alongside Jennifer R Hamilton @enrique_lins Connor Tsuchida, running #SARSCov2 tests on specimens from all over CA. #FiatLux UC Berkeley MCB UC Berkeley

The scientists who power the pipeline that powers the testing lab: Jennifer R Hamilton @enrique_lins @AbbyLabbyUC Connor Tsuchida all @doudna_lab + Dirk Hockemeyer Lab Robots are only as good as the people who control them. By that criterion our robots are BRILLIANT. UC Berkeley MCB

We are so happy to share our blueprint on how to establish a pop-up lab for #SARSCoV2 testing now out on Nature Biotechnology Congratulations to the teams Institute for Geographic Information Science and UC Berkeley MCB. We are all in this together! 💪🏻🌈 #BeatCOVID19

Listen to the story of how the Hockemeyer Lab dirk hockemeyer & Institute for Geographic Information Science have joined forces to scale up Covid testings. #COVID19 #beatcovid

Our lastest review on TERT promoter mutations by @florbeer1 is out. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are thrilled to be part of an ASAP funded project to decipher the functional genetics of Parkinson's disease in human brain organoids and mouse models. 5 lab collaboration with Hockemeyer Lab, LukeGilbert, Don Rio, and Frank Soldner. We are recruiting! More info soon.

Sharing this Berkeley News article about UC Berkeley MCB's recent ASAP grant awards. Our team is currently recruiting a project manager, post-docs, and technicians to work in one of the 5 labs. $14 million boost for Parkinson's research news.berkeley.edu/2020/09/16/14-… via @ucberkeley

Big News! 2 MCB-led teams awarded generous grants from Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s & michaeljfox.org to advance basic research on #Parkinsons disease ➡️ bit.ly/3iJt7oE QB3-Berkeley Berkeley Neuroscience Institute for Geographic Information Science

Happy to share the first pre-print from Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s Team Rio! We show that prime editing (developed by David R. Liu and co.) can efficiently and precisely introduce or repair Parkinson's-associated mutations in human stem cells for disease modeling. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The Hockemeyer Lab & collabs (Bateup Lab) are thrilled to share the first pre-print of the Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s project! We present a pipeline to introduce Parkinson-related mutations by PRIME EDITING in human pluripotent stem cells at high efficiency 🤯🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
