    Jan Carette

    Professor of Microbiology and Immunology

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research focuses on the identification of host genes that play critical roles in the pathogenesis of infectious agents including viruses. We use CRISPR genetic screens in human cells as an efficient approach to perform loss-of-function studies. Besides obtaining fundamental insights on how viruses hijack cellular processes and on host defense mechanisms, it may also facilitate the development of new therapeutic strategies.

    Le Cong

    Associate Professor of Pathology (Pathology Research) and of Genetics

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab develops gene-editing technologies like novel CRISPR systems and large gene insertion techniques for gene and cell therapy. We also leverage these gene-editing tools for single-cell functional screening to probe mechanisms of cancer, immunological, and aging-associated diseases. To accelerate our work, we integrate AI and machine learning to design and evolve therapeutic RNAs/proteins, and build AI-XR co-scientists like LabOS that bridge AI computation and biomedical experimentation.
