Congratulations to IGI alums @jro-hamilton.bsky.social @connortsuchida.bsky.social & team on the launch of Azalea Therapeutics!

Jennifer Doudna startup launches with $82M to apply new CRISPR delivery technology to in vivo CAR-T Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna's Azalea Therapeutics raises $82M to develop new CRISPR delivery system for in vivo CAR-T cell therapies targeting blood cancers.

Jennifer Doudna's latest startup, Azalea Therapeutics, launched with $82M. It's based on virus like particles developed by CEO Jenny Hamilton and a new CAR-T trick developed by UCSF's Justin Eyquem. Their goal? The ultimate CRISPR-based in vivo CAR-T. @endpts.com - endpoints.news/jennifer-dou...

Great to see others corroborate the finding that CRISPR-Cas9 mediated DSBs can lead to chromosomal aberrations (tinyurl.com/yp2b9s7m).

I always thought these findings weren’t meant to cause panic, but rather spur innovative solutions. Interesting to see pifithrin-a treatment do just that!

Asynchronous abundance fluctuations can drive giant genotype frequency fluctuations Nature Ecology & Evolution - Based on a combination of experiments and modelling, this study shows large stochastic fluctuations in genotype frequencies caused by intrinsic and extrinsic...

We usually think of genetic drift as the predominant stochastic force in evolving populations. But working with some model microbial populations, we found a distinct source of demographic stochasticity that scales (and behaves) differently than drift
