[Patterson, Robin L.]

Please join us for the Physics Colloquium today, at 4:00 PM in The Robert Smith Seminar Room. There will be a reception in the Atrium at 3:45PM. Details concerning the talk are as follows:

Speaker:         Mazhar Adli (University of Virginia)
Date:               Tuesday, January 31, 2017
Time:              4:00 PM
Place:             1080 Physics Research Building, The Robert Smith Seminar Room
Title:                Understanding and Utilizing CRISPR Technology for Genome and Epigenome Manipulations


Abstract:   Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) enable editing of the genetic materials in living cells. By changing the genetic information at specifically targeted regions in the genome, scientist now use CRISPR to make precise genetic alterations, study their functions and correct disease associated genetic mutations. In this talk, I will introduce CRISPR-based technologies and their major application areas. I will then present the results of our studies on CRISPR-based genome-scale knockout screening, locus specific epigenetic editing and chromatin imaging approaches.
