This year's @NobelPrize has been awarded to a special collaborator. His willingness to help @IGIBSocial develop invivo gene editing strategies for sickle cell has been a lesson in generosity. We join everyone else in congratulating Dr. Weissman for doing so much for all of us!🙏

Finally, massive efforts by @AnuragAgrawalMD @souvik_csir @IGIBSocial @CSIR_IND and the whole FELUDA team. Work has only begun though, testing has to become more simplified, more POC, more affordable in the coming months.. we're at it

So many of us have run that gel with water instead of buffer or ordered the wrong antibody and then had to go and report it to the supervisor 🙂 This is dedicated to all of us. The prologue (1/n)
