Silencing of transgenes during iPSC differentiation is a frequent problem. 🧬🫢
Check out the piggyBac system below, which has resisted silencing in many protocols across many labs. 💪
Excited that our lab could contribute to this team effort led by @tuenaka.bsky.social & Marius Wernig!
As Trump & Musk tear down our federal science agencies & jeopardize U.S. global science leadership, CA needs to step up.
I introduced legislation (SB 829) to create the California Institute for Scientific Research & solidify CA’s global science leadership in the absence of federal leadership.🧵
Congratulations Dr. @parkergrosjean.bsky.social! 🎓🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for your contributions to the Kampmann lab & UCSF - combining AI/ML with functional genomics to uncover regulators of neuronal activity.
We are missing you already - but excited for your next adventures at @insitro.bsky.social!
congratulations, @fredchanglab.bsky.social 🎉
