About the Advanced Gene Editing of iPSCs Using CRISPR/Cas9 Course

Gene editing using CRISPR/Cas9 has become a revolutionary tool in genetic research, enabling precise modifications at the genome level. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), generated from adult cells, hold immense potential for regenerative medicine, disease modeling, and drug discovery. CRISPR/Cas9 allows for the precise targeting and modification of specific genes within iPSCs, enabling the creation of disease models and providing insights into the genetic basis of diseases like neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, and genetic syndromes.

This course covers the essential principles of CRISPR/Cas9 technology, including gRNA design, delivery methods, genomic target validation, and troubleshooting strategies for successful editing in iPSCs. Participants will gain practical insights through dry-lab exercises, including editing techniques, clone generation, and analysis of editing efficiency and off-target effects. The course also covers the potential applications of gene-edited iPSCs in disease modeling, regenerative medicine, and drug screening.
