Loved this thoughtful piece on the doctor-patient relationship! Congratulations Ella!
It’s an honor to be recognized as a winner of the 2024 ABIM Foundation’s #BuildingTrustEssayContest alongside such thoughtful fellow medical students—I look forward to continuing the dialogue at the ABIM’s upcoming annual Forum!

Grateful for @MeganMolteni’s fantastic spotlight on our work to treat fetuses with genetic conditions using molecular therapies, including genome editing. I am privileged to lead a team working to make these therapies safe and effective. tinyurl.com/ypexs3sn
Thrilled to share @KPIXtv on the first child @UCSF to receive enzyme replacement therapy in utero. We are grateful to the family + incredible teamwork in providing fetal therapy to fetuses diagnosed with rare genetic diseases. tinyurl.com/cbs-hunters @UCSFChildrens @UCSFcmfpm

In 1981 UCSF's Dr. Harrison performed the nation's 1st #FetalSurgery. Today experts use many types of fetal surgery—& new approaches—like fetal gene editing—are coming. “We hope to see these used in humans in less than a decade,” Dr. @MackenzieTippi says. ucsfh.org/3O7AIy3

What an incredible event, @PictureaSciFilm! Thanks to our attendees, panelists @RnaHelix @MackenzieTippi @MDPhDEquity @ElizabetsCrouch Susan Fisher, and moderator Akos Herzeg, MD.
We look forward to hosting more community events! Follow our calendar: tiny.ucsf.edu/DSl26d
Discussed an important topic tonight with some of my favorite scientists @PictureaSciFilm @RnaHelix @MackenzieTippi @UCSFstemcell @MDPhDEquity
Wonderful article describing progress on so many fronts in fetal surgery. Grateful to Dr. Harrison for his enduring legacy and congratulations to our colleagues for their incredible work helping the tiniest patients.
“Maternal-fetal surgeons can already remove deadly tumors and treat spinal abnormalities in utero. What’s coming next may be even more dramatic.” @AAMCtoday shares the field's progress and promise with Center Co-Director @MacKenzieTippi and other pioneers. bit.ly/436rqHW
Grateful for this beautiful article about our team’s efforts. Thank you to all of our colleagues, collaborators, and especially our patients who are taking this journey together.
Fetuses with alpha thalassemia rarely survive, but with in utero therapy @UCSFcmfpm's Dr. @MackenzieTippi is treating devastating disorders before babies are born. "What we're trying to do now is to bring fetal surgery to the next frontier," she says. ucsfh.org/3NqRYOr
Wonderful article on prenatal gene therapy papers presented at the recent ASGCT, including by our group.
Gene therapy stands to change how we cure disease. Treating earlier will often be better—and the womb is as early as it gets.

Sharing our @BloodAdvances manuscript describing the impact of in utero transfusions on perinatal outcomes in patients with alpha thalassemia major (ATM). Thanks to the many international patients, families, and providers for collaborating with us. bit.ly/3iQJd4U 🧵
ALT Alpha Thalassemia Major (ATM) is not a fatal disease in utero blood transfusions enable survival with excellent outcomes

For the first time ever, doctors have successfully treated a fetus with infant-onset pompe disease using a protocol developed at @UCSF by Dr. @MackenzieTippi and team. Ayla, now 16 months old, is thriving, giving hope for future prenatal treatments. bit.ly/3CYYPdH
