A CRISPR way to precisely Edit the Genome
<p>
Start: 28 April 2025 2:30 pm<br />
End: 28 April 2025 4:00 pm</p><p><strong>Speaker: Dr Andrew Bassett </strong><strong><br /><strong> Head of Cellular and Gene Editing Research, Sanger Institute</strong></strong></p><p>The Sanger Institute is arguably the foremost institute in the UK on gene editing.<br />CRISPR is a groundbreaking genome-editing technology that allows precise modifications to DNA.<br />By harnessing a natural bacterial defense mechanism, CRISPR enables scientists to cut and edit genetic material with unprecedented accuracy.<br />This revolutionary tool is transforming medicine, biotechnology, and genetic research, offering potential treatments for genetic disorders, cancer, and infectious diseases.<br />CRISPR’s efficiency, specificity, and versatility make it a powerful method for studying gene functions, engineering cells, and advancing personalized medicine.</p><p>If you are not already subscribed, subscription is free and you will receive joining details and news about forthcoming Leading Edge meetings <a href="https://u3acommunities.org/subscribe-to-leading-edge/">https://u3acommunities.org/subscribe-to-leading-edge/</a></p>
