While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Colloquium - Mazhar Adli (University of Virginia) Understanding and Utilizing CRISPR Technology for Genome and Epigenome Manipulations

Mazhar Adli (University of Virginia)

4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
1080 Physics Research Building - Smith Seminar Room - reception at 3:45pm in the Atrium

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) enable editing of the genetic materials in living cells. By changing the genetic information at specifically targeted regions in the genome, scientist now use CRISPR to make precise genetic alterations, study their functions and correct disease associated genetic mutations. In this talk, I will introduce CRISPR-based technologies and their major application areas. I will then present the results of our studies on CRISPR-based genome-scale knockout screening, locus specific epigenetic editing and chromatin imaging approaches.
