Life in the Harrison Lab
A typical day in the Harrison lab usually starts with transatlantic zoom calls to collaborators in Cork or Lisbon to discuss gene editing strategies that correct some rare DNA mutations that cause cystic fibrosis (CF). By the time this is finished, everyone in the lab is working either in the main lab, across the corridor with our collaborators to check the primary cell work, or down the hallway transfecting cells or harvesting DNA samples to determine the efficacy of our latest experiments.
Wednesday morning is typically the time we get together for a joint lab meeting with the members of the Harrison lab and our collaborators in Cork, Ireland and Montpellier, France. Our French collaborator, Anne Genevieve Pierrette Bergougnoux, recently spent a 10-month sabbatical in our lab here in Cincinnati.
One or two afternoons per week, team members meet one-on-one with Patrick to check in and discuss their latest findings, trouble-shoot issues that have arisen and plan their next set of experiments.
