Ever wondered how scientists can rewrite the code of life?
This hands-on workshop introduces you to CRISPR-Cas9, the groundbreaking technology that’s transforming genetics, medicine, and research. You’ll learn how to design guide RNAs, perform gene modifications, and analyze your results, all while working with industry-standard tools like PCR, gel electrophoresis, and DNA extraction. Beyond the lab, we’ll explore the ethical questions surrounding gene editing and its impact on medicine, agriculture, and conservation. If you’re excited about biotechnology, genetic research, or the future of medicine, this workshop is your chance to dive into one of the most exciting fields in modern science.
The CRISPR Gene Editing Workshop is a hands-on learning experience designed to introduce high school students to the principles and practical applications of CRISPR-Cas9 technology. Students will learn the fundamentals of gene editing through interactive lessons and laboratory activities.
This workshop is designed for high school students with an interest in biotechnology, medicine, genetic research, or molecular biology. A basic understanding of biology is recommended.
CRISPR-Cas9 is a gene editing technology that allows scientists to make precise changes to DNA sequences. It is a powerful tool with applications in medicine, agriculture, and research.
No. All experiments are conducted on safe, educational samples, such as bacterial DNA, commonly used in university-level genetics courses. This ensures students gain real-world lab experience while following strict safety and ethical guidelines.
