#CRISPR2026
On-demand course
CRISPR-Cas9 and genome editing are transforming medicine, genetics, and society. This autumn, join EMBL’s Science Education and Public Engagement (SEPE) team and Merck for a self-paced course exploring how these breakthroughs can enrich your knowledge, enhance your teaching, and inspire your students. The course is aimed at formal and informal educators, science professionals, and enthusiasts.
Hosted on the EMBL eLearning platform eCampus, the free course provides an overview and deep dive into the field of genome editing and CRISPR research, offering practical tools to help educators effectively teach the topic in class. Please note: This course reuses content from the previous EMBL self-paced course “The CRISPR revolution 2024“.
