📣 It is our great pleasure to invite you to another one of our fascinating lectures about the experimental method that pushes the boundaries of modern science. Yes, we are talking about the CRISPR-Cas systems for genome editing. 🔬

👨‍🔬 Dr. Martin Jinek finished his undergraduate studies at Trinity College in the University of Cambridge. He defended his thesis back in 2006 at the European Laboratory for Molecular Biology in Heidelberg under the supervision of eminent Dr. Elena Conti. Afterwards, he got a postdoc position at the University of California, Berkeley where he worked in the lab of prominent prof. Jennifer Doudna. His pioneering work on the biochemical functional properties of endonuclease Cas9 was one of the crucial steps for developing the CRISP-Cas9 systems for genome engineering.

🔎 In 2013, Martin joined the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Zurich as an assistant professor. He is focused on molecular mechanisms based on RNA and protein interaction. Some of the research focuses of…
