This laboratory course focuses on research topics in the Corn lab related to CRISPR-Cas genome engineering, the role of DNA repair in metazoan genome editing, the development of preclinical proof-of-concept for genome editing therapies, and the use of genome editing to investigate fundamental questions in blood cells. Projects will be conducted in small groups.

Genetics and epigenetics form the blueprints for all life. Understanding genetics is critical to understanding everything from evolution to cancer. This course covers the fundamentals of modern genetics, with an emphasis on molecular mechanisms, and the use of genetic tools to understand biological biological processes in bacteria, model organisms and humans.

This course teaches the basic principles of evolution, cell biology, molecular biology, genetics and developmental biology using the example of humans.

Introduction to the diversity of current RNA-research at all levels from structural biology to systems biology using mainly model systems like S. cerevisiae (yeast), mammalian cells.
