CRISPR-Cas Genome Editing: Workflow, Tools and Techniques

Unlocking Genomic Potential: CRISPR-Cas at the Forefront of Precision Editing

About Course:

CRISPR-Cas gene editing technology is a powerful tool that has revolutionized the field of biology. It allows researchers to make precise and efficient changes to the genome of any organism. This has led to a rapid increase in our understanding of gene function and disease mechanisms, and it has also opened up new possibilities for gene therapy and other therapeutic applications.

In this three-day workshop, participants will learn about the basics of CRISPR-Cas gene editing, its advanced applications and ethical considerations. The workshop will include lectures, hands-on demonstrations, and discussions with experts in the field.

Aim: The workshop aims to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of CRISPR-Cas gene editing technology and its applications. The workshop will cover the basics of CRISPR-Cas, including how it works, different types of CRISPR-Cas systems, and its potential impact on various fields, such as basic research, translational research, and gene therapy.
