  • Summary

  • In this episode we talk to Dr. Rasmus O Bak from Aarhus University about the use of CRISPR and its use in cellular therapies. CRISPR has now become a method to not only knock gene’s out but - as Dr. Bak explains - also an all-round tool that can be utilized to a variety of different task.


    We discuss research from Dr. Bak’s research group, examining how CRISPRa and CRISPRi - a method to either active or inactivate genes - can be used in both hematopoietic stem cells and T cells to up- and down-regulate genes and push cells into entire new cellular states.


    The articles discussed are:

    • “Targeted regulation of transcription in primary cells using CRISPRa and CRISPRi” (Link: https://genome.cshlp.org/content/31/11/2120.long)
