Hertz Fellow Reuben Saunders developed a powerful new CRISPRi-based screening platform to silence genes in millions of cells across living tissues. His award-winning thesis, "Pooled genetic screens with rich readouts at scale and in vivo," is transforming how scientists study gene function in real physiological settings.
