WE ARE HIRING! CDI and Lim Lab at UCSF are looking for technicians (pre-PhD level) for a variety of cell engineering and synthetic biology projects. Past trainees have gone on to PhD/MD/careers at great places including UCSF, Harvard, Genentech, UCSD, etc! Apply here: aprecruit.ucsf.edu/JPF05588

I am excited to announce that in March, I will start my lab in the Department of Cancer Biology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine @pennmedicine.bsky.social @penncancer.bsky.social stevens.bio

The latest from Lim Lab at CDI out today in Cell! "Synthetic organizer cells guide development via spatial and biochemical instructions" led by star postdocs Toshi Yamada and Coralie Trentesaux www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

UCSF scientists have developed a “molecular GPS” system that makes it so that T cells can target and attack brain tumor cells without harming healthy tissue: https://buff.ly/41gMxu0 https://buff.ly/4fSD40p @cdi-ucsf.bsky.social @ucsfcancer.bsky.social @science.org #CART #immunotherapy #glioblastoma

Press about recent paper on UCSF main page, in which @aparentlab.bsky.social chimes in

In @science.org this week, Reddy, Lim, & colleagues engineer engineer custom #synthetic #suppressor #TCells that produce locally targeted immune suppression. Such cells could be used to protect specific tissues from #CARTCell cross-reactivity without compromising on-target, antitumor activity!

In @science.org this week, Simic, Watchmaker, Zamvil, Okada, and Lim engineer #TCells specific for #CNS #ECM antigens to deliver payloads selectively to the #brain!

Finally here: #CellSignaling by Wendell A. Lim and Bruce J. Mayer - an excellent and comprehensive resource for researchers, lecturers, and students interested in #SignalTransduction. A perfect Christmas present for self?

For our inaugural @bsky.app post – 2 papers and the cover of Science @science.org!! Dr. Nish Reddy et al. built T cells that suppress inflammation in specific tissues bit.ly/4fX8JxN Dr. Milos Simic, Dr. Payal Watchmaker et al. built T cells that deliver therapies to the brain bit.ly/4g0I5Ej
