Beal Lab

This year’s Miller symposium was a success, with a talk from our very own Dr. Peter Beal, and poster presentations by graduate and undergraduate students in the group.  Thanks to keynote speaker Dr. Jennifer Doudna for a wonderful talk, and for joining us for a photo!

Congrats to Cody and co-authors on their paper “Versatile 3′ Functionalization of CRISPR Single Guide RNA”. This collaborative work with Dr. David Segal’s lab began as part of Cody’s T32 training grant. Read the full text here!

Time to celebrate some recent successes of the group and welcome our new members: Victorio and Bailey!

Many of our lab members ventured to UC San Fransisco for the Bay Area RNA Club’s 2019 meeting.

Congratulations, Leanna!

Congrats to Yuru and Leanna on this productive collaboration with Dr. Michael Toney’s lab. Read their publication “RNA binding candidates for human ADAR3 from substrates of a gain of function mutant expressed in neuronal cells” here!

We had a great time in Lake Tahoe for the 5th annual UC Davis CBP retreat. Thanks to Dr. Jennifer Heemstra for spending the weekend with us, and for a great keynote presentation.
