Join us for our Stem Cell Genome Editing 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 Feb 10 session, we will hear from speaker Greg Mohl, PhD, who will present "High-throughput platforms for gene editing and delivery optimization."

Our work is focused on developing brain editing therapies for neurological diseases. We are addressing this problem through two major efforts:

1. How can we boost editing in non-dividing cells (neurons)?
2. How can we safely deliver gene editors that distribute throughout brain tissue?

We are building high-throughput screening methods and novel human model systems to address these questions. Our goal is to rapidly deploy new therapies to patients who are waiting for a cure.
