T cells / CRISPR / Genome Engineering

Vienna, Austria
Excited to share a milestone in our forward genetics developments! Today in @Nature we report massive mutagenesis screening in T cells with base editors, increasing resolution from genes to nucleotides nature.com/articles/s41586-0… A @MarsonLab story with my dear friend @carlcward 1/10

Really great to see this important work published. Congrats @LaineGoudy @LukeGilbertSF!!
Epigenetic editing opens new opportunities for programming T cells. CRISPRoff can also be combined with genome editing approaches to enable new cell engineering approaches. Congratulations to @LaineGoudy and everyone involved! doi.org/10.1038/s41587-025-0…

Multi-layered CRISPR screens converge on RHOG +/- FAS for enhanced CAR T cell therapies. Impressive work from Vienna - Congrats @BockLab and collaborators!
🧬 CAR T cells demonstrate the power of engineered cells as therapeutics. But they fail for most patients. Can we make them better by gene editing? Our paper in @Nature presents a CRISPR platform for optimizing immunotherapies & discovering boosters of CAR T cell function. (1/13)

Excited to share the latest from the @MarsonLab! An investigation of context-specific gene regulation in T cells, which led to dynamic mechanisms required to control T cell rest and activation. Published today in @Nature thanks to the work of many! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

🧬CRISPR TREND: we get so excited about CRISPR for C&GT & in-vivo reprogramming we forget what a powerful tool it can be for screening. You are about to witness some super interesting target discovery innovation where individual cell types are interrogated at scale.

Possibly the biggest single experiment we’ve done in the lab! @ardinyo_ and @XanWesolowski have been working round the clock! Genome wide CRISPR screen in 1e9 primary lymphocytes!
Heroic CRISPR screen in primary T cells by #Ardon and #Xan in the lab.. 4 AM night and 1 billion OT1s! Fingers crossed!

Very happy to share some of my PhD work, published yesterday in @NatureBiotech. Especially thankful for truly exceptional mentorship from my PI, @BizarMd, who encouraged me to leverage powerful gene editing tools to ask some exciting questions bridging immunology and genetics

I am really excited to share with you my PhD work in @bsadamson lab. A huge thanks to all Adamson Lab members, our collaborators, and @Nature. This project wouldn’t be possible without you.
Excited to share with you our manuscript describing the endogenous protein La as a mediator of prime editing and the development of our PE7 editor, which can improve prime editing. For more, please check out nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Today in @Science_Magazine we report the laboratory evolution of compact degrons that enable targeted protein degradation triggered by an otherwise-inert small molecule, a multidisciplinary study that integrates organic chemistry, molecular glues, protein evolution, genome editing, and structural biology.
