Got to hear some amazing science and meet some experts in the base editing field (including ADAR pioneer, Kazuko Nishikura!) at the Deaminet 2022!
A big congratulations to Erin for winning a poster award during the recently concluded Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society Annual Meeting. Great job, Erin!
Check out the fancy amidite/CPG cabinet organized by Victorio and Aash! Thank you both for making oligosynthesis more fun!

A round of applause to Erin for winning the 2021 Lakshmi Raman Graduate Research Award from the Department of Chemistry! This award is given to graduate students who have demonstrated a commitment to the advancement of women in higher education and in STEM fields. Way to go, Erin!
Here’s a super adorable cartoon of Agya and Herra made by the Beal lab resident artist, Kevin Pham! Together, Agya and Herra had been optimizing the purification of ADAR1 p110 and figured they should name their collaboration as Team Coomassie Blues Clues (LOL!).
Check out this really cool paper by Erin and Xander in JACS! Great job, guys!
Rational Design of RNA Editing Guide Strands: Cytidine Analogs at the Orphan Position
