Nov 05, 2018 (Mon) | 12:00 PM -1:00 PM

800 Welch Road, Room 180 : Palo Alto, CA

Genome editing provides a mechanism to precisely change the DNA sequence of cells and holds promise for the treatment and prevention of single-gene disorders. These lectures will describe the developing of precision genome editing to a broad variety of human cell types in order to develop novel curative cell-based therapies for genetic diseases affecting various of organ systems.
