Join us for our Stem Cell Genome Editing Series, which highlights advances in genome editing for stem cell biology and therapeutic development, aligning with our vision to Discover, Engineer, Heal. At our March 10 session, we will hear from speaker Zachary Steinhart, PhD, who will present "Decoding human T cell function with CRISPR activation and interference."

Dr. Zachary Steinhart is focused on the development and application of CRISPR technologies to uncover gene function and discover new therapeutic strategies in cancer immunotherapy. His work has advanced the discovery of tumor vulnerabilities and mapped networks governing human T cell function. In this talk, Dr. Steinhart will highlight how large-scale CRISPR activation and interference screens — both individually and in perturbation combinations — can systematically decode antitumor gene functions in primary human T cells.
