Gene editing in blood & immunity

Gene Editing in Blood & Immunity

A 1-day workshop style meeting at ACMD, bringing together Australian scientists who are currently working in either research or clinical applications of gene editing in blood or immune systems.

Our programme is now available.

Special guests: Tracy Bryan (CMRI), Elizabeth Ng (MCRI)

Please note our previously advertised international speaker Paula Rio is unfortunately no longer able to attend due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Organisers: Andrew Deans and Astrid Glaser (SVI/ACMD)

Topics covered will include

Homology dependent and independent CRISPR-Cas9

Base editing

Prime Editing

Delivery methods

Isolation and expansion of hematopoetic stem cells

Genetic modification of immune cells

In vitro and animal models of genetic blood and immune disorders

Emerging clinical trials

Regulatory hurdles

Please note that this meeting is primarily for experts, but if you are new to this field, you can still come along and learn a lot!

There are still places available, you can register right up until Friday morning of the conference.

If you are interested more generally in CRISPR/Cas9 you can also register for:

Fuel your inspiration

Learn from others about new approaches to gene editing

Overcome the messy middle

Discuss the near future translation of gene editing to patients

Networking

Make the connections that will accelerate your research
