Powerful 1st-person piece by Knight Campus Dept of Bioengineering Asst Prof Parisa Hosseinzadeh on her long road to recovery following a brain hemorrhage in Nov. 2022. We are so inspired by your strength & determination Parisa and are happy to see you growing stronger every day







When I was in undergrad & volunteering for girls in engineering outreach events a friend told me: “Don’t be afraid to be your feminine self. It’s good for them to see that example.” Since then I’ve felt free to dress how I want & am so grateful for it.

Just shared at @KeystoneSymp a new @ArcInstitute discovery of the bridge RNA recombinase mechanism: a new class of natural RNA-guided systems that retains the key property of programmability from RNAi and CRISPR while enabling large-scale genome design beyond RNA and DNA cuts




Congratulations to Assistant Professor Calin Plesa who was named the 2023-24 Clark Honors College (@uohonors) Outstanding Senior Thesis Advisor! Plesa was nominated by former Knight Campus Undergraduate Scholars (KCUS) fellow Carmen Resnick.
