Excited to share our new paper in @MolecularCell! We’ve developed TurboCas, a powerful new CRISPR-based proximity labeling tool that lets us pinpoint the proteins regulating gene expression at specific genomic loci. Check out what we discovered:

Huge thanks to my awesome techs, my mentor @ShilatifardLab, collaborators, our department @NU_BMG_SQE and supporters who made this work possible. Also thanks to Brianna Monroe @b_monz2 for making the amazing TurboCas video I’ve been showing off everywhere. (12/12)

Thrilled to announce that TurboCas, the single locus labeling technique I developed in the @ShilatifardLab is finally live! I'm super excited to share our work with the greater scientific community.
My lab has been working for the past 15 years to develop a method to isolate specific genomic loci to identify its chromatin composition & protein interactome. Finally,… our superb physician/scientist Dr. Bercin Cenik @bkcenik did it and here it is Not only was she able to develop this method, which she calls TurboCAS, she was able to identify known & novel regulators of heat shock & Myc expression. Cannot wait to see what Bercin and TurboCAS will discover about the molecular basis of transcriptional regulation with great impact on clinic in the next few years! @NU_BMG_SQE @NUFeinbergMed @MolecularCell
