CRISPR-based diagnostics

SignalChem Webinar and Product Launch

CRISPR/Cas9 is a popular genome editing tool, due to its simplicity and versatility, which allows for highly specific genomic modification and targeted gene silencing. CRISPR-based diagnostics has become a relevant technology for fast, affordable and ultra-sensitive testing at home, point of care or in the field.

We want to invite you to our partner SignalChem's webinar on the topic of CRISPR-based diagnostics.

 

Webinar: CRISPR-based diagnostics

Presented by: SignalChem Lifesciences

Date & time: Tuesday, 23rd November 2021, 05:00 PM (CET)

Speaker: Clark Xie, PhD - Director of Molecular Biology at SignalChem

Content

The fast and accurate diagnosis of a disease is central to effective treatment and prevention. Detections of nucleic acids are most sensitive and specific technology for diagnostics. However, most such diagnostic platforms require expensive equipment and trained personnel. Recently CRISPR-Cas platform has been developed for rapid, sensitive, specific, cheap and reliable diagnostic. CRISPR-based diagnostics have broad applications in the sensing of a variety of molecular targets relevant to human health. It will lead to revolutionary breakthrough of diagnostics.

Topics Covered:

• Introduction of CRISPR system
• Cas proteins for diagnostics
• Applications of CRISPR-based diagnostics
