We’re thrilled to announce IGI–Bakar Labs. This new building will allow the IGI to continue expanding our impact in health and agricultural applications of #CRISPR, and will be shared with the Bakar Labs incubator for growing biotech companies. Learn more: news.berkeley.edu/2025/07/17/c...

Out now in TIME — @jenniferdoudna.bsky.social on IGI's new initiative, teaming up with the @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social to create a new center for pediatric #CRISPR cures! Read here: ow.ly/E5un50WnbCi

✨ Berkeley Lab's @nersc.bsky.social, @delltechnologies.bsky.social, and NVIDIA announce new public-private partnership for game-changing US Dept. of Energy Doudna supercomputer, (NERSC-10, strengthening U.S. capabilities, accelerating discovery, and powering future science. 🧪

Precision gene editing medicine makes history, and it’s just getting started www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In a medical breakthrough, a team including IGI’s @urnov.bsky.social & @giannikopoulosp.bsky.social created an on-demand #CRISPR therapy for an infant with a deadly gene mutation — developed, approved, and delivered to the patient in just 6 months. Read more: ow.ly/G0Bg50VTonC #RareDisease 🧬

Phage genomes are full of mysterious proteins that could be harnessed to create new genomic tools. IGI's @doudna-lab.bsky.social & @cresslab.bsky.social with co-first authors @benadler.bsky.social & Muntathar Jamal Al-Shimary detail a new way to exploring phage genomes: ow.ly/uucL50V77n0 🧪🦠🧬

🌟 Big Give is now LIVE! Consider supporting a group of passionate young scientists running experimental teams, training initiatives, and building a synbio community by students FOR students 🧑‍🔬 bit.ly/igem-give25 #CalBigGive #iGEMBerkeley #bioengineering #syntheticbiology

The Rubin Lab had an awesome summer hosting Hampton University senior Alex Mendez under the mentorship of @atp-alker.bsky.social and @jayman1466.bsky.social last year. We're excited to see this initiative grow, and thrilled to see more students at IGI labs in the summers ahead! 🌟🧑‍🔬

Thanks to out @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social community for joining us at Stand Up For Science! @jenniferdoudna.bsky.social spoke about how NIH funding supported her PhD & NSF funding supported her development of #CRISPR genome editing. Federal funding is needed for life-saving science!

At the labs' favorite, Cholita Linda 💁

Today, the IGI turns 10! We’ve grown from a fledgling initiative focused around developing #CRISPR tools to a full-blown research institute bringing together leaders in basic & translational research! ⚕️💊🌱☀️ Take a look at our timeline & key achievements from our first decade: ow.ly/GzVt50UTsbP

Fascinating new preprint from @therubinlab.bsky.social out today: "Generating functional plasmid origins with OriGen" 🧬 🖥️🧪🦠

This is probably one of the coolest articles I have seen in a while. Haven't fully grasped it yet , but new improved annotation of plasmid replication apparatuses (very important) AND de novo replication design! This might improve our understanding of plasmids a lot.

We are thrilled to share our latest work: OriGen--the first AI system to generate functional DNA replication sequences! ⬇️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
