QBI has launched the Research and Engineering to Accelerate Discovery (READY) Center, led by Dr. Lee Spraggon, PhD and QBI Director Dr. Nevan Krogan. This biomedical center merges academic and industry expertise to unravel disease biology and speed up therapeutic development. Using innovative genome engineering, including CRISPR, the READY Center will build a comprehensive map of human protein interactions in infectious diseases, cancer, and neurological disorders. The center is also collaborating with the University of California, San Francisco Department of Psychiatry on a $13.7M CIRM-funded project led by QBI Investigator Dr. Tomasz Jan Nowakowski. This initiative aims to advance schizophrenia research by exploring its molecular foundations and potential therapeutic targets. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ge9zaSeN
