Please join the FAES Academic Programs Team on October 17, 2024 at 12PM for the next installment of our Educational Webinar Series: Hunting for Disease Genes – CRISPR's Role in Gene Discovery
The Zoom link for the October Educational Webinar will be sent to you via email on October 16, 2024. Attend for a chance to win a FREE FALL COURSE!
Curious about the world of CRISPR and its groundbreaking applications? Join us for an insightful talk and interactive Q&A session. We will begin with a comprehensive overview and historical journey of CRISPR technology, then dive into how CRISPR is revolutionizing functional genomics and genetic screening to pinpoint the genes responsible for various diseases.
Speaker: Dr. Abraham Trujillo (BIOL 425)
Dr. Abraham Trujillo received his Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Perpignan in France and is currently a postdoctoral IRTA fellow at the NHLBI. He is leveraging genome-wide CRISPR screen and proteomics to elucidate molecular mechanisms that prevent cell death in ischemia-reperfusion injury. His research also focuses on understanding the activation of cell death pathways in conditions characterized by ischemia, such as myocardial infarction, organ transplantation, and stroke.
