Programmable gene insertion in human cells with a laboratory-evolved CRISPR-associated transposase Programmable gene integration in human cells has the potential to enable mutation-agnostic treatments for loss-of-function genetic diseases and facilitate many applications in the life sciences. CRISP...

Excited to introduce evoCAST: a platform for efficient, programmable gene integration in human cells. This work, a close collab between my PhD lab (Liu group) and @sternberglab.bsky.social, has been such a fun journey to help lead. Huge thanks to all contributors!

Post showing precipitous decline of share of deaths in Massachusetts from diseases for which vaccines are now available, from 70% in 1840 to low digits % by 1950-60 where it is stayed. 

Caption: There are not many places on earth where we have detailed cause-of-death data from before the era of widespread vaccination.

Massachusetts is one of those places.

From 1842-1877, 70% of all deaths were from diseases which we today have vaccines to prevent.

Anyone who is anti-vax is pro-death. Period. The science and data do not lie. And they don’t care about your podcast.
