Met many friends & colleagues at #ASHG2025, inc Andy McNamara & Yann Jouvenot, friends since Sangamo. Also met people at ASHG that I worked with while at Repligen, Georgia Tech, Tularik, UCSF and CRISPR Therapeutics - so covered many years!

If you are at #ASHG2025 and want to meet, please let me know. #Boston Oct 14-18 Are there enough CRISPR / Gene Editing people for a meetup?

This year, I am not joining colleagues at #CGMesa25 or #ESGCT2025, but here in Boston for 𝐅𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 #FBW2025. Please let me know if you are also attending and want to meet up this week! #CRISPR in #Boston

@jtkantor.bsky.social Back at Fenway with the biotech group Bullpen. Please rally us with the Pixies

Hello @jtkantor.bsky.social Please honor those Takin' Care Of Business for us today watching the Red Sox at Fenway on Labor Day

The In-House Impact Biopharma Summit started today in Boston. Today's sessions include Legal and Corporate Strategy & Financing.

The Genome Engineering: CRISPR Frontiers meeting has started at #CSHL. #cshlCRISPR25 #CRISPR

Happy 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘆! Hopefully you are enjoying life on the Half Shell today in some form. Sharing International #Oyster photos, from Sylt, Paris and New Orleans (during #ASGCT2025).

Happy #RNAday to everyone (in hopes you celebrate) Hopefully AUG (the most common start codon) signals the start of a good month.

This afternoon concluded the 𝟔𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐍𝐀 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭. If you are not following the field, time to read up as things are moving fast. I presented some early clinical data, with hopes that multiple companies would be presenting clinical updates in 2026 !

First of two RNA Editing presentations done, “Navigating RNA Editing Regulatory Challenges & Optimizing Translation of RNA Editing Candidates to Accelerate IND Approval” with Robert Deans. Also shared slides/movies from Franz Gerner, Kate Excoffon and William Kennedy, MD.

The 6th Annual RNA Editing Summit is kicking off today here in Boston.

The @thesavbananas.bsky.social are in Fenway Today 3:30pm ! Message me if interested in 2 extra tickets @jtkantor.bsky.social will you be adding to the magic ? www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMip...

Happy U.S. Independence Day.

This flyer for Biotech Tuesday caught my eye. Back at Fabrica (where photo taken) – but I may be out of town Link to Boston and Bay Area Biotech Tuesday Events biotechtuesday.com/events

First they condemned Calvin, then went after Hobbes But seriously, book banners now looking at Calvin and Hobbes and many, many more acclaimed books, sometimes even without a review panel. Another sign of the changing times.

Amazing to me that JAWS, the first summer blockbuster came out 50 years ago: June 20, 1975. Travel tip: you can find many of the filming locations on #MarthasVineyard with a google map m.youtube.com/watch?v=K2pT...

Great to meet so many new people this week in #Boston through the many Bullpen and #BIO2025 events. Excited to continue the discussions on #CRISPR Gene Editing with novel nucleases.

@jtkantor.bsky.social The Biotech group, fittingly called the Bullpen is at #Fenway celebrating Monday’s #BIO2025 conference. Love the sun in bleachers, so please favor us: She Blinded UMe With Science

At #BIO2025 this week! Please reach out to hear about our nucleases #hfCas12Max, RNA editors #hfCas13Y, #AI-guided base editors & #epigenetics, or programs - spanning #CNS (#ALS, #MECP2 duplication syndrome, #Huntington's, #Alzheimer's), #DMD, and #ophthalmology (#Stargardt, #AMD, +)

Thanks, I agree, this was nice to read after digesting the News

I'd Hope & Dream to hear about venues having listening parties, or maybe as an intro to events!

Thank you!

@jtkantor.bsky.social A group from the German American Business Council is at Fenway tonight and would love to hear 99 Luftballons Bitte. Go Sox!

On Wednesday, shortly after Alvin Luk presented low dose early clinical DMD at #ASGCT2025 Presidential Symposium, I presented another data set using HuidaGene hfCas12Max nuclease: HG303 Improves Neuromuscular Function and Survival in ALS Models

Fun night in new Orleans with @nucleaselab.bsky.social #asgct2025

One can't present at #ASGCT2025 without a bit of nourishment and science discussion! Ready to meetup? Good luck with the flight delays and I'll see you all shortly in #NewOrleans

Always great to see the first person you meet on the way to a conference, especially the #ASGCT Today I got to catch up with Guangping Gao from UMass Chan Medical School and chat about viral vectors and the exciting clinical progress to be presented at #ASGCT2025. #AAV #CRISPR

For a taste of #NewOrleans, stream #WWOZ for music from Louisiana while packing for #ASGCT2025 Also a good music calendar site – msg me for my music club suggestions. #Jazz #Zydeco #CRISPR www.wwoz.org/schedule

Anyone else having trouble on #ASGCT2025 website? @asgct.bsky.social.

Oh no, now how am I gong to be challenged to put in order cryptic, but fun list of items ??? I'd suggest it, once back orderup.games

The #ASGCT2025 announced a record-breaking number of submissions on the latest research on CGT to be presented in New Orleans May 13-17. The abstract book is now online annualmeeting.asgct.org/abstracts ( #CRISPR #DMD HuidaGene Therapeutics )

Excitement is certainly building for #ASGCT2025. It will be great to see everyone and hear the many advances. 𝗛𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 will be presenting: ✔ 13 abstracts ✔ 5 oral talks ✔ 1 Presidential Symposium

#ASGCT Annual Mtg in #NewOrleans May 13-17th. Looking forward to the posters, presentations, Presidential Symposium, keynotes & catching up I am in for meetings the day before, Monday May 12, so please let me know you are in early. How about these #ASGCT2025 banners!

The #CRISPRMED25 conference started yesterday in Copenhagen! Looking forward to continue meeting everyone and hearing the advancing data.

It was great to meet so many academic and industry leaders and join great panels and discussions at the 𝟱𝘁𝗵 annual 𝗪𝗲𝘁 𝗔𝗠𝗗 & 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗘𝘆𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝘂𝗴 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁. I was also excited to catch up with former collaborator 𝗔𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗺 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮 from 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 walking in. #FirstSightingatConference

Excited to join the discussions at the Wet AMD & Diabetic Eye Disease Drug Summit in Boston this week and present HuidaGene Therapeutics studies supporting the world’s first #CRISPR RNA-targeting therapy, HG202, for patients with neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration #AMD

The baby name Crispin is common enough to be on some name tracking sites: 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗹𝘆-𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 Crispin is Latin-based, dating to Roman period and reemerging in 1999. No mention of DNA editing #CRISPR

It is great to be at #KSGenomeEng25 and to share the HG-PRECISE engineering of hfCas12Max and HuidaGene Therapeutics' Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy program: From Bench to Bedside

The Annual Keystone Gene Engineering meeting is underway in Killarney. Great to meet in person to present and discuss ongoing advances. Xiao Yang was my first on-site photo. #KSGenomeEng25. #CRISPR

I enjoyed presenting and discussing HuidaGene Therapeutics' hfCas12max and DMD program at University College Cork. Photo here with my host, Dr Ciaran Lee who I have known since Georgia Tech including our early work on project that became Casgevy.

I am excited to visit University College Cork, Ireland this Monday to present and discuss our work at HuidaGene Therapeutics : AI-Driven HG-PRECISE Engineering of hfCas12Max for Pre-Clinical DMD Studies Supporting the M.U.S.C.L.E Trial.

Why can't text message programs filter out the ongoing scam starting "Toll Roads Notice of Toll Evasion" ?

You can still order free covid tests, at least tonight special.usps.com/testkits

Rare Disease Day is observed every year on 28 February (or 29 in leap years)—the Rarest Day of the year. A globally-coordinated movement working towards equity in social opportunity, healthcare, and access to diagnosis and therapies for people living with a rare disease. www.rarediseaseday.org

Last chance to get the early-bird pricing. Also a good time to book your room & flight ! Let me know if I'll see you #ASGCT2025 in #NewOrleans

Exciting to see Casgevy treatment outside the US. #CRISPR #GeneEditing

If you want a reminder of the role of NIH and other grant funding of research, it is usually in the publication under Acknowledgments or Funding (see examples below and in your favorite groundbreaking papers)
