University of Phoenix Leader Transfer Credit Insights Published by AACRAO
'University of Phoenix is dedicated to fostering student success at every stage of the academic journey, especially as it relates to our registrar and admissions related services,' states Marc Booker, Ph.D., Vice Provost of Strategy at University of Phoenix. 'Engaging with the AACRAO community to share best practices on academic transfer credit, digital credentials, credit for prior learning, and skills-based learning helps to advance the principles of learning mobility and support AACRAO's signature initiative in this space.'
Andrews' course content was first presented at the 2024 AACRAO Technology and Transfer Virtual Summit and with positive feedback from attendees, was selected as a standout to be included in the learning package. Her insights included credit mobility guidance on improving transfer credit related policies, identifying focused opportunities for credit for prior learning, and making the process highly visible and easily digestible.
AACRAO is a non-profit, voluntary, professional association working to make higher education more responsive to learners. With a membership of more than 18,000 higher education professionals at approximately 2,300 institutions in more than 40 countries, collectively representing over 16.5 million enrolled learners, the association provides advocacy, research, and policy-based guidance and training to higher education professionals to smooth the path for learners at every stage of their journey.
Based on her experience building the transfer credit experience at the University, Andrews co-authored a related white paper in 2023, which informed the presentation and insights of the course, and wrote an article published in The Evolllution. At the 2025 AACRAO Annual Meeting, Andrews co-led two roundtable discussions titled 'Enhancing Student Success through Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) and Credit for Prior Learning (CPL),' and 'Navigating Non-Traditional Credit Opportunities with Alternative Credit Providers,' which examined practical strategies for implementing and improving PLA and CPL programs and resources and tools to support use of non-traditional credit opportunities, respectively. She also serves as the chairperson for AACRAO's Prior Learning Assessment and Alternative Credit and Credentials professional activities committee.

Profluent Announces Publication of Generative AI Research in Nature with New Results for OpenCRISPR-1
EMERYVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Profluent, the AI-first protein design company, today announced a publication in Nature describing the design of OpenCRISPR-1, the world's first AI-created genome editor to successfully edit the human genome. These findings validate the use of Profluent's large language models (LLMs) to generate custom gene editors that match or exceed the performance of naturally occurring CRISPR systems, with the potential to expand gene editing capabilities and accelerate therapeutic development. Despite the diversity of CRISPR-Cas proteins that exist in nature, not all are ideally suited for specific therapeutic applications, and traditional protein engineering approaches introduce tradeoffs that limit utility. The publication, titled 'Design of highly functional genome editors by modelling CRISPR–Cas sequences,' explores Profluent's approach to AI-enabled protein design as a compelling alternative to directed evolution and structure-guided mutagenesis for engineering novel gene editing systems at scale. 'As our Nature publication demonstrates with the highest scientific rigor, the novelty and diversity of the gene editors Profluent can create with our LLMs transcend that of proteins made by nature or traditional engineering,' said Ali Madani, Ph.D., Profluent co-founder and Chief Executive Officer. 'By opening up this new frontier in AI-powered drug discovery, we are shifting biology from a field constrained by evolution to one of abundant possibilities, where we can generate new proteins on demand to solve society's most pressing challenges.' The paper expands on a previously published preprint with several new findings that reinforce the effectiveness of AI for protein design: AI generates sequences with unprecedented novelty and diversity: LLMs trained on large-scale biological sequences produce diverse CRISPR-Cas sequences spanning a broad set of families, while being hundreds of mutations away from known natural proteins and therefore impossible to create manually. LLMs trained on large-scale biological sequences produce diverse CRISPR-Cas sequences spanning a broad set of families, while being hundreds of mutations away from known natural proteins and therefore impossible to create manually. Viability of LLMs for CRISPR-Cas design: Profluent's platform performed exceptionally well in designing functional Cas proteins compared to manual or other machine learning approaches to protein engineering tested. Profluent's platform performed exceptionally well in designing functional Cas proteins compared to manual or other machine learning approaches to protein engineering tested. Genome-wide off-target analysis of OpenCRISPR-1: OpenCRISPR-1 showed significantly reduced off-target cleavage events using an unbiased genome-wide specificity assay. OpenCRISPR-1 showed significantly reduced off-target cleavage events using an unbiased genome-wide specificity assay. Lower potential immunogenicity with OpenCRISPR-1: iELISA quantification showed lower immunogenicity for all generated Cas proteins compared to SpCas9, suggesting that new-to-nature proteins designed with machine learning have the potential to be less immunogenic as compared to pathogen-derived genome editors, like SpCas9. 'Since releasing OpenCRISPR-1 in 2024, tens of thousands of academic and industry researchers have accessed the open-source sequence, signaling AI's broad potential to unlock solutions across therapeutics, biomanufacturing, agriculture, climate, and beyond,' said Hilary Eaton, Ph.D., Profluent Chief Business Officer. 'As we deepen investment in our platform capabilities to meet the bespoke needs of our partners, we're building Profluent into a one-stop-shop for customized gene editors of any modality, with attractive economics and flexible partnering models.' OpenCRISPR-1 is publicly available and free to license for ethical research and commercial use. The open-source package can be accessed via GitHub and AddGene. Profluent has also decided to open-source the CRISPR-Cas Atlas, the most extensive dataset of CRISPR systems curated to date, that was used to steer Profluent's models. This move aims to further expand access to Profluent's next-generation gene editing capabilities. About Profluent Profluent is an AI-first company pushing the frontier of de novo protein design to author new biology. Grounded in nature with AI as an interpreter, Profluent's powerful foundation model platform unlocks solutions that transform medicine, agriculture, and beyond. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Emeryville, CA, Profluent is backed by leading investors including Spark Capital, Insight Partners, Air Street Capital, AIX Ventures, and Convergent Ventures.
