New paper out 🚨! Excited to share this collab between my lab and @kerschensteiner.bsky.social's group, expertly led by Ning Shen. We used a genome-wide in vivo CRISPR screen to uncover novel neuroprotective strategies in the P23H mouse retina, with validation in a new human retina culture model.

#ScienceStartsHere

Well, the Biology and Development of the Eye (BDE) study section has been postponed (previously scheduled for Thurs/Fri).
I’m very disappointed on behalf of the applicants and reviewers, who all want this meeting to happen. I’m also grateful to the NIH staff who work so hard to make science happen.
