1st Gene Editing Workshop
7 Jun 2018 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Leolin Price Lecture Theatre, UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health
If you are interested in using CRISPR/Cas9 in your research, whether a novice or a seasoned professional, we invite you to our first Gene Editing Workshop.
This aims to be a technical workshop with a relaxed informal atmosphere. We hope to provide a forum for ICH researchers to share experiences, best practice and knowledge and support collaborations amongst junior researchers.
The workshop is part of the NIHR GOSH Biomedical Research Centre's Advanced Treatments for Structural Malformations and Tissue Damage theme, and will be followed by a drinks and networking session.
