'Gene editing with CRISPR/Cas9' - research lunch organized by Dept. HSR
The department of Human Structure and Repair hosts a series of thematic ‘research lunch’ meetings.
The second upcoming research lunch is about Gene editing with CRISPR/Cas9 and will be moderated by CRIG member prof. Björn Heindryckx.
CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing is a revolutionary technique, and its constantly ongoing development continues to drive major advances in life sciences. During this research lunch, experts will discuss the current state of the art of the technique, its possibilities and limitations. Next, they will present an example of how this technology can be applied in human embryos, where the aim is to overcome mutation transmission.
2 lectures:
1) CRISPR/Cas: current state of the art
