Congratulations to Postdoc Fuguo Jiang who was honored with the RNA Society/Scaringe Award, an award that was established to recognize the achievement of young scientists engaged in RNA research and to encourage them to pursue a career in the field of RNA. Fuguo was recognized for making great strides towards understanding the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing complex, working alongside his colleagues in the Doudna lab. He has combined X-ray crystallographic data and single-particle cryo-electron microscopy approaches to describe the mechanism of DNA target recognition and key structural states of the Type II CRISPR-Cas9 family. These proteins are powerful tools from genome editing in a wide variety of organisms.

Congratulations to Postdoc Chun-Hao Huang who was selected as UNLEASH SDG talent and one of the winners selected to create solutions to UN Sustainable Development Goals.
