CRISPR: The Science and Opportunity of Genome Editing

Jennifer A. Doudna, Innovative Genomics Institute @ University of California Berkeley & UCSF/Gladstone Institutes; Howard Hughes Medical Institute

Fundamental research to understand how bacteria fight viral infections uncovered the function of CRISPR-Cas programmable proteins that detect and cut specific DNA or RNA sequences. I will discuss current research to develop and deploy genome editing molecules for biomedical and other applications. I will also discuss the development of CRISPR-based diagnostics technology to address the current pandemic and improve future preparedness.
