Genome editing: Disease modelling to novel therapeutics

Presented By: Erik Willems, PhD / Jason Potter, PhD

Speaker Biography: Dr. Erik Willems was trained as a stem cell biologist in Brussels, Belgium where he obtained his PhD in 2007, after which he soon relocated to San Diego, California to develop his expertise in the use of pluripotent stem cells in high throughput screening assays for understanding the basic biology and disease of the developing heart at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute.

Since graduating from Cornell, Jason Potter has spent 20 years working in biotech R&D. He has led research focusing on synthetic genes and the development of enzymes, including SuperScript III and other reverse transcriptases and polymerases, at Invitrogen /Life Technologies.

Webinar: Genome editing: Disease modelling to novel therapeutics

Webinar Abstract: Genome editing is—or will soon be—in the clinic for several diseases and more applications are currently under development. The rapid pace of the field, spurred by the transformative CRISPR technology, demands constant updates to our scientific and technical skillsets to stay relevant.
