Job title: Graduate Student, Doudna Lab

Bio:

Dr. Connor Tsuchida completed his PhD in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco as a NIH F31 fellow, working in the laboratory of Dr. Jennifer Doudna. As part of the Doudna Lab, he has been focused on translating new genome editing technologies, whether that is novel genome editing enzymes or delivery vehicles, toward becoming clinical medicines. Most recently, he has focused his research on making genome editing more precise to improve the safety of future genome editing therapies — an effort that was recognized by being named a Siebel Scholar.

Mitigation of Chromosome Loss in Clinical CRISPRCas9-Engineered 11:15 am

Cas9 genome editing results in partial and whole chromosome loss at target sites across the genome Cas9-induced chromosome loss in primary human T cells persists in ex vivo culture for weeks A modification in clinical genome editing protocol dramatically reduces the rate of Cas9-induced chromosome loss in T cellsRead more
