Thank you! Yes-working on common skin diseases like eczema already. Prime editing is also planned. Many future applications for this :)

Super proud of this work from my lab that has great translational potential and can fundamentally change how we treat skin diseases.
UBC researchers have developed the first gene-editing treatment for skin conditions.
Safe, scalable and easy to apply topically, explore how the gene therapy could transform the treatment of skin disorders: news.ubc.ca/2026/01/first-ge…

We’re looking for a postdoc to lead an exciting new collaborative project with @WilliamsLab_UBC! The focus is on studying the dynamics of immune cell glycosylation in the tumor microenvironment. See posting for more details. Please like and RT! grad.ubc.ca/ad/58149
Join! A must see for OoC and bioengineering folks!
Organ-on-a-chip technologies can serve as models of #HumanBiology. @milicaruoft will begin a 3⃣-year stint at #mdcBerlin to take on the challenge of growing them with #vasculature.
Join us for her MDC-Lecture "Engineering Vascularized Organs-on-a-Chip" 👇
