Harnessing the power of CRISPR in space and time

Researchers have developed the revolutionary “CRISPR-Switch”, which enables unprecedented control of the CRISPR technique in both space and time.

Using CRISPR to detect diseases

Using CRISPR to detect diseases

Researchers present sensor prototype that can rapidly, precisely, and cost-effectively measure molecular signals for cancer.

Revolutionising CRISPR-Cas

Revolutionising CRISPR-Cas

Researchers have refined the famous CRISPR-Cas method. Now, for the very first time, it is possible to modify dozens, if not hundreds, of genes in a cell simultaneously.
