Really excited to share our latest pre-print. How is RNA transported in our brains? What zipcodes (remember the number code on the postcards) help determine where to take the RNA? Read the tweetorial by my mentor @JMTali for a quick dive into the answers

Exciting work to extend the current #CRISPR technologies to affect endogenous gene splicing. Perhaps extending the current gene therapy paradigm.
Graduate student Jack Li's work out in Molecular Cell now: By conducting a screen of 341 splicing factors, Jack identified RBM25 coupled to dCasRx as a superior tool to boost inclusion of endogenous exons /1

Can a simple solution such as iron supplements help treat #leishmaniasis? Initial study led by @I_am_SBanerjee shows that a bite by the vector, sandfly, can have systematic changes in iron levels and that iron supplementation can mitigate some of the effects! Read more👇🏽 @ASBMB
Iron supplements can be a crucial tool in managing the symptoms of leishmaniasis. Researchers are still working on how the infection impacts our iron levels, but, boosting iron intake can help combat this global health threat: @arorankita @ASBMB @jbiolchem

There is no winner in a war! While I condemn Hamas actions and what they did was wrong, I believe that doesn't justify killing innocent civilians including children. This is a call to end war crimes and let humanity win. #HumanityFirst #FreeGaza

"We know from biology that diversity is strength; it is also true socially. When we don’t see ourselves in these various spaces, we can internalize, “Do I really belong here?” We belong here more than anyone because we bring the insight and a perspective that people need to hear"
Carlota Ocampo talked to @arorankita about her job as the provost and vice president of academic affairs Trinity Washington University in the nation’s capital: #HispanicHeritageMonth2023
