Innovative Genomics Institute

Folks, the Innovative Genomics Institute CRISPR Cures program I direct has an opening for a molecular biology wizard RA to join our Technology team. The successful candidate will show outstanding proficiency with every step of the "editor assembly, delivery to cells, genomic DNA harvest, NGS library preparation" workstream. The successful candidate will also show themselves to be an exceptionally dedicated team player prepared to make a sustained and substantial impact on progress of CRISPR to the clinic for severe pediatric diseases of hematopoiesis and metabolism.

We're excited to welcome our newest IGI Investigator Michael Ward, who studies neurodegenerative diseases! 🧠

Coming up tomorrow -- join is in person or on Zoom!

The Innovative Genomics Institute CRISPR Cures effort that I direct has an opening for a golden-handed cell biology wizard to assume a lead experimentalist position in IND-enabling nonclinical pharmacology and toxicology studies for pediatric inborn errors of immunity.

Coming up Tuesday, May 19 at 2 PM Pacific, David (Dudu) Burstein of Tel Aviv University will be giving a seminar on anti-defense systems in bacteria. Join us in Berkeley or on Zoom! More info: https://ow.ly/5UaV50Z0jvx

For four years, the IGI Communications team has been working with University of California, Berkeley student illustrator Kaylene Son to bring our research to life with illustrations! Here are just a few of the images she's created for us over the years. Congrats on graduating & we can't wait to see what you do next! Find more of her illustration and design work at https://lnkd.in/ghdSEwvm Illustrations: pipetting, CRISPR "delivery," the inside of the IGI building in Berkeley, Rita Levi-Montalcini in the style of Tamara de Lempicka's "Girl in Green Dress" painting for our Reimagining Women in STEM gallery (free on our site), lab glassware #SciArt #STEAM

This award honors >200 individuals across CHOP, Penn Medicine, IGI, Aldevron, IDT, Danaher leadership, Acuitas, JAX, CBER reviewers, the NIH SCGE - and the parents of the child for their courage. Specifically in reference to the child's family - we as a field owe it to them, and countless other families like theirs, to put every (mg x nm)/ms of the momentum this work created towards platformizing CRISPR cures for scalability and affordability. #healthjustice

We're proud to share the 2026 American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy Catalyst award with our collaborators at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Danaher Corporation and even more proud to see Baby KJ thriving!

Excited to share a preprint, building up one of the coolest gene editing systems I've worked with during my postdoc. Kudos to fantastic team that contributed to this work. Check out Brady's writeup on it here: https://lnkd.in/ghunuaYd
