Excited to share our discovery of a new programmable RNA-guided DNA-targeting system hiding inside bacteriophages that predates CRISPR.
We call it VIPR (Viral Interference Programmable Repeat), and it uses an entirely new logic to find its targets.

I'm very excited to be part of the new #NCCR Children & Cancer. This amazing group spans all of #Switzerland to unite researchers & clinical practitioners to tackle deadly childhood cancers. Website is live today - stay tuned for #hiring and research updates childrenandcancer.ch
The preliminary program and registration is open for SwissPR 2026, happening in Basel at the Biozentrum on 30th June. Hear from @jpkbravo.bsky.social , Jonathan Schmid-Burgk, Julian Grünewald, @martinpacesa.bsky.social, and more. Register now at www.swisspr-symposium.uzh.ch/en.html
New lab preprint - Common and rare variant studies for the same trait identify different genes and here Diederik Laman Trip developed a protein network AI enconding to investigate if traits studied by different approaches converge on the same molecular pathways
