Congratulations Kunal ⁦Kunal Shroff⁩ for passing your qualifying exam with flying colors! 🍾🍾🍾 #kampmannlabproud

Congrats to kunal for acing his qualifying exams today! What a great icing on the cake!!!

Friday Potluck

Are tweeprints still a thing? Well if so -- feast your eyes on our latest application of CRISPR screening: scalable cell-type specific CRISPRi screens of endogenous cells in a live mouse brain. This is actually my first preprint as a first author so super excited to share it!

Excited to share our preprint: Scalable, cell type-selective in vivo AAV-based #CRISPR screens in mice biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Project led by Biswa Ramani, Indigo Rose, Andrew Pan in the Kampmann Lab. Read Indigo’s tweeprint here:

Lab lunch to celebrate cherished lab members making their next steps, as well as our newest graduate student! Welcome Vasileios! And best wishes to Nabeela Ariqat, Joanna Chou and Anjani for what will surely be an amazing future!

Happy Friday! Photo cred: Amanda McQuade

pMK1334 digest Thursdays!

A new preprint from our lab is live on biorxiv! A human iPSC model to capture tau propagation and screen for genetic and pharmacological modifiers in culture: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/3)

Super excited to have my first co-author preprint with Alice Giani from Gan Lab live on biorxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/9)

Abstract submission is open for the Neurobiology of Aging GRS (grc.org/neurobiology-o…). We would love to see a diverse group of trainees represented in Spain next summer to discuss mechanisms of neurodegenerative disease!

Welcome to the lab Venus & Spencer Danner-Bocks! And our summer researchers Na'im & Michelle, and rotation student Saheli Singh ! It's shaping up to be a bright summer!

Congrats to Indigo Rose and Gokul Ramadoss on giving talks at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory CRISPR Frontiers Conference! #CSHLCRISPR23

The next Bay Area Aging Meeting will be Thurs Dec 7, 2023 at Stanford University, with keynote from the amazing beth stevens. Brunet Lab UC San Francisco UC Berkeley Buck Institute Register now! agingmeeting.org/registration/

Another great Kampmann Lab retreat full of science, fun, and food. I feel incredibly lucky to work with such an awesome group of people!

Check out gia, a lightning-fast genome interval arithmetic toolkit! Developed by UC San Francisco BMI student Noam Teyssier (joint Hani Goodarzi and Kampmann Lab)

Congrats to our lab members for presenting so many posters at the Inside IGI Health conference in Berkeley! @ChemBioBoggess Vaidehi Gandhi Indigo Rose Amanda McQuade and Spencer, and lab alumni Andrew Pan and Joanna!

Congrats to Amanda McQuade for her talk and Indigo Rose for his poster at the UCSF Neuroscience Retreat at Asilomar!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
