News + things happening in the Kleinstiver Lab
We escaped!
August 2019
Our first lab outing to an escape room was a huge success (especially with 4 first-timers). Crush Depth at Trapology was great. Next: to complete all escape rooms in Boston..
"If you can cook,
you can science"
April 2019
A very belated lab holiday celebration! During our cooking class at Eataly we learned how to make fresh cavatelli pasta with a garlic, parmesan, sausage, and broccoli rabe sauce. Delizioso!
Journal Club: Class 1 CRISPR systems
April 2019
Serendipitous day to choose papers that discuss Class 1 CRISPR systems for our Journal Club, given the recent publication from the Ke and Zhang labs (describing the use of Cas3 for long-range genome editing in human cells). Assist from the IGI with the CRISPR cards.
We're hiring!
March 2019
We are recruiting motivated researchers for a Research Technician I or II position. This is a great opportunity to gain 2 years of research experience in the genome editing field, especially for those who are looking for additional training prior to applying to graduate school. Link to application here.
Fancy new lab logo
March 2019
Science animator extraordinaire Joy Horng helps us design our new lab logo - thanks!
​
Let us know what you think!
Cas12a paper published!
February 2019
Our work describing enhanced Cas12a variants, done in the Joung Lab, published in Nature Biotechnology! Thanks to all in the Joung lab and collaborators at MGH who made this possible! Special acknowledgement to Alex and Russell who worked day (and night) for a long time for this one.

All stocked up and ready to go..
Poster Award!
October 2018
Russell wins a Poster of Distinction Award at MGH Clinical Research Day - congrats Russell!
CGM Annual Retreat
September 2018
Russell presents a 60-second lightning talk on genome editing and Cas12a!
+ Ben gave a seminar on all things planned for the Kleinstiver Lab.
Here we go!
September 2018
