🌱🌍 Published in Nature Reviews Bioengineering, "Genome engineering of plant photosynthesis for carbon sequestration" from IGI researchers from co-first authors Evan Groover and Flora Zhiqi Wang, and the Savage Lab, Niyogi & Lemaux labs! Read here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s44222-026-00453-3

A new multi-institutional initiative funded by ARPA-H through its THRIVE program is developing affordable gene-editing therapies for inborn errors of immunity in children. The award of up to $27.7M supports a platform approach to rapidly treat inborn errors of immunity: https://ow.ly/1MfE50ZsZEh

In a new paper, IGI researchers at UC Berkeley & UC San Diego develop a novel approach to controlling invasive rodent populations: Y-linked genome editors, combining scalability with a level of control that has previously been difficult to achieve: https://ow.ly/8mMx50Zs8of 🧪

At the IGI, we're using #robotics to accelerate research in critical areas like #Parkinson's disease. Learn more about one of our favorite robots and how IGI's Hanqin Li, Tomy Tran, and Dirk Hockemeyer are changing neurodegenerative disease research: https://ow.ly/RpMM50Zm85m

We're thrilled to officially welcome UC San Diego as an IGI partner campus! We're working to jointly develop cutting-edge genomic tools for addressing large-scale challenges in health and the environment. Read more about our plans: https://ow.ly/My0h50Zp8Lj

Out today in @science.org, Doudna lab researchers describe an #AI-assisted method for designing enhanced genome editors, testing close to 2000 in lab. Read more: innovativegenomics.org/news/ai-desi...
