New, reversible CRISPR method can control gene expression while leaving underlying DNA sequence unchanged
Researchers conducted CRISPR screens in traditional cell culture media versus a physiologic medium that more closely mimics human blood, and found that the relative essentiality of many genes could vary with these different conditions.
Ann Boija is a senior researcher in Whitehead Institute Member Richard (Rick) Young’s lab studying the role of cellular structures called condensates in gene regulation. We sat down with Boija to learn more about her and her experiences in and out of the lab.
Whitehead Institute scientists are finding new ways to follow cells as they move around the body, pass through their life cycles, and arrive at their ultimate fates. Instead of just a snapshot, these approaches provide a rich history of their function, their journey, and in some instances their role in disease, when they go awry.
Whitehead Institute is dedicated to training the next generation of scientists, especially postdocs. Get to know a few of these remarkable scientists through these profiles.
