CRISPR and Genome Engineering – Dr. Rob Mitra, Ph.D
The webinar was held on Saturday, March 10, 2018.
Program Overview
CRISPR – the ground-breaking gene-editing technology that will revolutionize health, medicine, and touch virtually every segment across the economy. This webinar – designed and led by experts in Genetics, Technology, and Economics – will quickly bring the highlights of this technology to you and provide a glimpse of the future with a “crisp” eye toward potential careers and economic opportunities – projected to be a multi-billion dollar market worldwide.
Speaker Profile
Rob Mitra is the Alvin Goldfarb Professor of Computational Biology in the Department of Genetics and Edison Family Center for Genome Sciences and Systems Biology at Washington University in St. Louis. He has been developing and applying genomic technologies for over 20 years. As a postdoctoral trainee in George Church’s lab, he performed some early proof-of-principle experiments for next-generation DNA sequencing. Upon moving to Washington University he developed genomic-based targeted capture methods, methods for recording transcription factor binding during development, and, in collaboration with Jim Havranek and Don Elbert, developed surfaces, reagents, and protocols for detecting and sequencing single protein molecules. His current research interests are focused on understanding how transcription factors achieve their in vivo specificities and dissecting the gene regulatory networks that govern developmental processes
