In this episode, Samira Kiani discusses genetic means of regulating CRISPR to ensure safety and clinical applications in immunomodulation.
In this episode, Mandana Arbab, a postdoc in David Liu’s lab, discusses editing outcomes using CRISPR-Cas9 and base editing and the development of the respective online resources, inDelphi and BE-Hive.
In this episode, Ryan Donnelly (Horizon Discovery) discusses a user-friendly guide to streamlining CRISPR knockout workflows in cell lines including guide design, delivery and strategy, as well as tips for avoiding common pitfalls.
Jason Sheltzer (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) discusses challenges and best practices to generating gene knockouts in cell lines using CRISPR-Cas9, as well as his group's tour de force application of the technology to reveal stunning discrepancies between drugs that are in clinical trials and their supposed mechanism of action.
Britt Adamson (Princeton University), one of the pioneers of single-cell screening using CRISPR going back a few years to her postdoc in the Jonathan Weissman lab at UCSF, discusses technical tips, trends and applications of this extremely powerful approach in functional genomics, and highlights the value of a strong multidisciplinary team.
Omar Abuddayeh and Jonathan Gootenberg (McGovern Institute for Brain Research, MIT) offer tips and strategies for minimizing off-target effects using CRISPR-Cas9. We also hear about their exciting work on SHERLOCK and CRISPR diagnostics, one of the highlights of their tenure in the Feng Zhang lab; and get a preview of some new directions now they are independent investigators.
Stanley Qi, Assistant Professor at Stanford University and Associate Editor with The CRISPR Journal, discusses the development and application of CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) and CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) in better understanding gene regulation and pathway relationships.
In this podcast, Cristina Gherelli (Team Leader in Immuno Oncology R&D at Horizon Discovery) shares some of the latest tips in screening immune cells, particularly using pooled lentiviral T-cell screens. She also discussed the implications of this new screening application for immuno-oncology and autoimmunity research.
In this episode, physician-scientist Alejandro Chavez (Columbia University) discusses the development and features of the CRISPR activation platform, which is commercially available from Horizon. Chavez also offers his views on the breadth of applications of CRISPRa/CRISPRi technology for genetics research.
