When & where? The next ‘CRISPR Genome Editing: Design & Strategy’ hands-on intensive training course will be hosted at Homerton College, University of Cambridge on the 22nd and 23rd June 2017.
What will I learn? On this course you will learn all about the structure of genes and how best to target, delete, modify and tag them using the very latest in CRISPR technology! Detailed advice for those interested in correcting or introducing genomic mutations will also be given.
In depth training in the use of bioinformatics tools will teach you how to increase the specificity of your genome editing and how to predict, identify and minimise potential off-target effects. Cutting-edge advances in the use of CRISPR will be a major focus, with tips and tricks for vector design and experimental strategy from experts in high-throughout mammalian genome engineering.
Interactive tutorials, CRISPR clinics and Q & A sessions with leading scientists will help answer the burning questions you have about your specific project and help you avoid the common pitfalls! Major academic and industry figures in the field will give keynote talks on their latest research and technological advances.
Certification. Your knowledge will be tested at the conclusion of the course and will receive a Certificate of Completion endorsed by CamBioScience, Homerton College & the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute.
Meet the experts! We are delighted to confirm the following world-leading instructors and speakers who have all been directly involved in shaping the contemporary genome engineering revolution:
- Dr Barry Rosen AstraZeneca
- Dr Mark Thomas Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
- Dr Emmanouil Metzakopian Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
- Dr Oliver Baker Horizon Discovery
- Dr Norah Fogarty The Francis Crick Institute
- Liliana Antunes Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
- Xiaoping Li Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
Who is the course aimed at? The course is aimed at junior group leaders, postdoctoral scientists, PhD students, experienced masters level students and senior research assistants from both academia and industry. Some experience of molecular biology and/or genetics is required. The course teaching will focus heavily on manipulation of mammalian genomes so applicants with an interest in this system will be prioritised.
The Cambridge experience. In the evenings delegates will enjoy drinks receptions and CRISPR technology showcases where they will have the opportunity to network with the experts as well as each other. On the first evening there will be an elaborate three course Cambridge Formal Dinner! Breakfast, hot food lunches, and coffee are all included in the price of the course. Although accommodation is not provided we are well equipped to offer advice about the best places to stay in Cambridge with numerous sites conveniently located very close to the course venue.
