EMBL Course
Application is not yet open for this event. If you are interested in receiving more information please register your interest.
This course will provide training in genome editing and cell engineering in mammalian cells and mouse embryos using the highly efficient CRISPR/Cas9 system. Participants will learn design of CRISPR targets using bioinformatics tools, generation of gene knock-outs/knock-ins, and target validation using the most current technologies. The course will be split into two groups (mammalian cells OR mice) based on participants’ expertise.
“This course has a lot to offer- from experienced speakers to experienced trainers. Apart from the theory, emphasis on the practical aspects helped me develop a broader understanding of the topic. This course has surely made me CRISPReady!” – Pragyesh Dixit, Institute of Physical Chemistry – PAS, Warsaw, Poland
“The course was very well organized and is perfectly suitable for someone who is new to the topic, as well as more experienced scientists. Practicals and lectures provide a great overview over the technology and plenty of time is dedicated to the project specific questions that everyone is eager to discuss. Highly recommended!.” – Jan Becker, INM – Leipniz Institute for New Materials, Germany
