Award for the renewal of the Center for Synthetic Regulatory Genomics at New York University School of Medicine, focusing on advanced gene editing technologies and translational applications in medicine and biotechnology.
Description
The project involves development and application of revolutionary technology for making dramatic, coordinated changes to extensive gene loci, enabling broad investigation of regulatory sequences and fostering translational applications to biotechnology, personalized medicine, and gene therapy. The project includes designing and synthesizing thousands of constructs, developing a pipeline for their integration, surveying libraries, and developing computational models. An outreach program involves undergraduates in genome assembly and a Fellows program to expose researchers and students to new technology.
