Superstar grad students worth snagging before they get too far into their postdoc (optionally, give them a year before starting):

Adam Marblestone: Physics of Rosetta BRAIN/BAM, DNA origami, etc.

Marc Lajoie: Team leader for the first Genomically Recoded Organism, RE.coli 4.7 Mbp. Multivirus resistance.

Postdocs:

Prashant Mali and Luhan Yang: prime movers on Human genome editing (CRISPR) and human organoids

Jay Lee: In situ Sequencing — the basis for much of Rosetta BRAIN.

Kevin Esvelt: Accelerated lab evolution, PACE, and taming natural populations (mosquitoes and human microbiome).

Hi George,

The MIT Media Lab is aiming towards a faculty search this year in the spaces of biological interfaces and biology inspired engineering. While not official yet -- we are still awaiting approval from the dean, so please don't circulate this email -- might you have any names

EFTA_R1_00407028
EFTA01945214

that you might privately recommend that we consider, giving us a heads up so to speak about any all-star candidates that might be emerging from your lab (and perhaps a sentence or two about what they're up to)? Much appreciated!

Best,

Ed Boyden, Ph. D.
