For decades, government funding “has positioned the United States as a global leader” in science, says scientist Tom Maniatis of Columbia’s Zuckerman Institute and the New York Genome Center. He highlights how a new National Institutes of Health policy cutting money for research “jeopardizes” this, in Cell Press: https://lnkd.in/e829EjcV See our related animation on these NIH funds: https://lnkd.in/e4iWAgGT

If you're attending the 2025 ACMG - American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics Annual Clinical Genetics Meeting at the Los Angeles Convention Center, don't miss the session "Advances in the Clinical and Laboratory Approaches to Repeat Expansion Disorders." This first-of-its-kind ACMG session is dedicated exclusively to Repeat Expansion Disorders and aims to provide clinicians and laboratory professionals with cutting-edge updates on diagnosing and detecting repeat expansions using advanced sequencing technologies. Key highlights of the session include: 1. Latest advancements in sequencing technologies for repeat expansion detection 2. Newly developed databases and their role in analyzing complex repeat alleles 3. Case studies showcasing real-world applications, challenges, and best practices in testing 4. Guidance on follow-up criteria for clinical management after test results Join us for an engaging discussion led by renowned experts in the field, covering both clinical and laboratory perspectives on repeat expansion disorders. This session is a must-attend for anyone involved in genetic diagnostics, clinical care, or research on repeat expansions. We look forward to seeing you there! #gemomics #genetics #genomesequencing #healthcare #geneticdiagnosis

Enjoyed participating in this far-ranging podcast about CRISPR and genome editing and its transformative impact on human health — and even more important in these challenging times. Thanks to The Naked Scientists for the opportunity to discuss and share our work.
What is CRISPR? William Tingle takes a closer look at gene editing and why it matters. This episode features Neville Sanjana at New York University on the origins of CRISPR; adrian thrasher at UCL explains how it works; Nessa Carey at Imperial College London on the risks; and Hank Greely at Stanford University on the ethical implications.
