Chair
Alice Bertaina, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Stanford School of Medicine, USA
Speakers
Benjamin Kleinstiver, PhD, Assistant Professor, Mass General Hospital & Harvard Medical School, USA
Shengdar Tsai, PhD, Associate Member, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, USA
This session will focus on discussing approaches to develop novel nucleases, base and prime editors as well as approaches to detect off target activities of the CRISPR/Cas and related nuclease. Speakers will focus on some of the clinical applications of these editors as well the novel assays in development. They will cover how these and other developments in the field are pushing the envelope of genetic treatments which hopefully will soon be commercially available.
