Riding the CRISPR Wave

A group of �黨�ǿ���Ƶ scientists recently at a symposium at the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) that focused on developing gene editing approaches for new and emerging aquatic model organisms. The symposium inspired plans to host several UPR undergraduates at the �黨�ǿ���Ƶ next fall for a 3-day CRISPR workshop.

The �黨�ǿ���Ƶ scientists presenting at the symposium included Joshua Rosenthal, Carrie Albertin, Karen Echeverri, Zak Swartz, Margherita Perillo and Gjendine Voss. Among them, they are developing cephalopods, axolotls, and sea stars at �黨�ǿ���Ƶ as model systems for biological discovery.
