Europe's #1 event for addressing CRISPR's application challenges
AstraZeneca and Novartis have turned to
CRISPR for drug discovery, have you?
2015 has seen an increasing percentage of pharmaceutical companies implement
CRISPR technologies into their drug discovery plans.
Earlier this year Novartis' Institute for BioMedical Research (NIBR) President Mark Fishman stated "we have glimpsed the power of
CRISPR tools in our scientific programs in NIBR, and it is now time to explore how to safely extend this powerful technology to the clinic."
AstraZeneca have announced four research collaborations aimed at harnessing the power of
CRISPR, and GlaxoSmithKline is leading a $64 million investment for
CRISPR Therapeutics.
There is no doubt about it,
CRISPR is rapidly changing the way diseases are researched, and will soon revolutionise the way they are treated.
Whether you are already underway with using
CRISPR in your research, or are considering implementing the technology, this conference will provide you with all the information you need to harness
CRISPR's true potential.
We are bringing together key industry leaders to introduce you to the
CRISPR revolution, and help you address the specificity, efficiency and delivery challenges preventing you from making the most of the
CRISPR technology.
Don't miss out on:
- A keynote address from the Zhang Lab's Jonathan Gootenberg, who will share his experience working with Feng Zhang to discover the Cpf1 protein, and what this discovery means for the future of gene editing
- Discovering the latest tools, technologies and techniques in CRISPR application from the Doudna Lab's Sam Sternberg, who has been working closely with Jennifer Doudna to optimize the CRISPR technique
- Learning how to rapidly and accurately identify drug targets with true potential from experts from AstraZeneca who are using CRISPR in drug discovery and screening
- Discovering how Takeda are using CRISPR to stimulate homologous recombination for driving large genome alterations in recalcitrant cell lines
- Hearing as yet unpublished data from Dr William Skarnes of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute as part of our extensive line up of case studies from CRISPR pioneers
''This conference has been specifically designed to help industry professionals seize the true potential of this world-changing technology.''
Katherine Gordon, Conference Director, IQPC
"This is one of the best conferences I've attended in many years. Really good networking opportunities too."
