Human Genome Engineering using CRISPR/Cas9

28/04/2020
CRISPR, one of the powerful scientific stories of the decade, has the potential to revolutionise several areas of biology including medicine and agriculture. Notably CRIPSR is emerging as a rapid diagnostic tool. Due to its simplicity and reproducibility, CRISPR genome engineering could be used successfully to accelerate both basic and applied research in diseases. The Genome Engineering lab at the University of Westminster aims to explore the potential of CRISPR Cas9 technology to combat cancer treatment. We are intensively involved in training Doctoral and graduate students and have successfully applied CRISPR technology to generate several cellular models to study DNA replication dyamics in cancers.
The course will provide insights in to the basics of CRISPR gene – editing and hands-on training in human cell engineering using the robust CRISPR Cas9 system. We will also introduce the attendees to successful sgRNA design and analysis strategies and the state-of-art methods that could be used to address their own genome engineering needs.
This CRISPR beginners course is aimed at graduate students and scientists with a good understanding of cellular and molecular biology and interest in human genome editing. The course is relevant for researchers venturing into genome engineering for the first time.

The Genomic & Microbiology Revolution: in Technology we Trust (…or do we?)

14/05/2020
A day spent looking at the latest in genomic technology and how it relates to the clinical microbiology laboratory. How accurate is it, do we trust the results it provides us with, how do we interpret the information and results obtained.
Listen to the latest information on clinical/infectious disease topics that are presenting currently in the field of clinical microbiology with the opportunity to listen to leading experts and latest opinions on current trends and how to address them in the laboratory and in the field.
Improvement in knowledge use of genomic technologies and how they can be applied in the clinical laboratory of infections.
Application of these new technologies have been developed for use in routine investigation and utilisation of clinical infections.
The chance to interact with commercial companies and see the latest technology available on the market.
Opportunity to speak with key opinion leaders in this field.
This will help with the attendees develop in the following key learning areas
- Be able to analyse the data/information presented and develop science-based solutions that could be incorporated to enhance current laboratory methods
- Enable the creation of cohesive and persuasive arguments to allow project work to be undertaken to introduce new processes to the laboratory
- To integrate knowledge, analyse and evaluate the information presented in the light of own current knowledge of respiratory infections.
- Utilisation of new technologies within the Microbiology laboratory to improve the current service provided
- Take information /knowledge gained back to the laboratory to cascade to colleagues in the format of presentation or group discussion
