DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Stem Cell Genome Editing Series\, showcasing cu
 tting-edge advances in genome editing for stem cell biology and therapeuti
 c development. The series reflects the Center for Genome Surgery’s missi
 on to address critical challenges in gene editing and aligns with the UCSF
  Broad Stem Cell Center’s vision to Discover\, Engineer\, Heal. At our J
 an 27 session\, we will hear from speaker Nadav Ahituv\, PhD\, who will pr
 esent “Targeting gene regulatory elements for therapeutic benefits."\n\n
 By targeting regulatory elements via CRISPR activation (CRISPRa)\, we show
  that they can be used to rescue a variety of haploinsufficient diseases (
 having ~50% dosage reduction due to having only one functional allele). In
  addition\, utilizing CRISPRa to engineer adipocytes and adipose organoids
  to outcompete tumors for nutrients\, we show that they can be used as a n
 ovel cancer therapy\, termed Adipose Manipulation Transplantation (AMT).\n
