Join us for our Genome Editing Technologies & Applications Series, showcasing cutting-edge advances in genome editing for stem cell biology and therapeutic development. The series reflects the Center for Genome Surgery’s mission to address critical challenges in gene editing and aligns with the UCSF Broad Stem Cell Center’s vision to Discover, Engineer, Heal. At our October 28 session, we will hear from speaker Kyle Cromer, PhD, who will present “A genome engineering toolbox for HSCs,” exploring the latest advancements in genome editing tools for hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs).

Dr. Cromer will:

• Highlight the wide variety of genome editing tools available.
• Compare the strengths and weaknesses of different platforms.
• Discuss key barriers to clinical translation for HSC-based therapies.
• Present emerging research directions shaping the future of genome editing.

Session Format:
Talk Duration: 30–40 minutes
Followed by: Open discussion
Time: 12:10-1 PM
Location: Dolby Regeneration Medicine Building, Boardroom (Parnassus Campus) and Zoom
