Absolutely thrilled to be part of this ground breaking study with @davidrliu and so many others. One of the most important studies since discovery of the AHC gene in 2012.
Today in @CellCellPress we report the use of prime editing to correct several mutations that cause alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC), a rare and devastating neurodevelopmental disorder, in patient-derived cells and in two mouse models. https://t.co/gS7NsGqjtr 1/10

The @LurieCancer (LCC) went thru competing renewal of NCI designation. For a 2nd time we got "exceptional" ranking. The NCI site visit team gave a "perfect exceptional" (equivalent to 10). LCC is one of few in the nation and the only one in IL to ever achieve exceptional status.
