LECTURE ABSTRACT

The Gao lab research lies at the interface of chemical biology and biomolecular engineering with a primary focus on small- and macro-molecule discovery and their applications to human health. In this seminar, I will mainly present our recent progress in engineering the advanced CRISPR genome-editing systems and apply these genome-editing tools for the treatment of human genetic diseases and the discovery of novel bioactive small molecules.
