CRISPR-modified vines make their field debut in Italy. Would you drink the resulting Chardonnay?mycrispr.blog/2024/09/30/cri…

We are now delighted to announce that UGenie 2025, funded by the Garfield Weston Trust, is open for applications. Deadline is 1st May 2025. Applications and further information on the event can be found at the link below Biomedical Sciences Study At Ulster ulster.ac.uk/study/undergra…

CRISPR is revolutionizing cancer treatment! 💥 Researchers used CRISPR to eliminate 50% of head & neck tumors in mice by targeting the SOX2 gene. Read more about this groundbreaking study: insideprecisionmedicine.com/topics/oncolog… #CRISPR #CancerResearch #GeneEditing

Only 4 weeks left to apply for UGenie 2025! Please share. We take applications from all over the province.

Use of CRISPR to help bring back the dire wolf! Is this ok? What do you think?

Fun day teaching year 14s how to analyse PCR products on Bento Lab 🧬 as part of our Ulster Life Science and Biotech (ULife) Education hub for schools and colleges Biomedical Sciences. Looking forward to more tomorrow Rachelle Irwin Sarah Atkinson.

Deadline is fast approaching for UGenie 2025 applications. See link below if you know year 13 pupils who may be interested. Unfortunately, we won’t be bringing back Woolly Mammoths but you’ll still develop lots of skills in CRISPR for genome editing! ulster.ac.uk/study/undergra…

Training Biology teachers from across NI key molecular biology skills with Bento Lab 🧬 that they can transfer back to the classroom. Many thanks to Sarah Atkinson Rachelle Irwin for invaluable help Biomedical Sciences.

Amazing news! 🌟 Baby KJ received a custom CRISPR therapy for a life-threatening genetic disorder, developed in a record 6 months! He's now thriving, and this breakthrough could revolutionize personalized medicine. A true game-changer! 🧬 #CRISPR wired.com/story/a-baby-r…

UGenie 2025 is due to commence in August. This article by ⁦Bethan Wolfenden⁩ ⁦Bento Lab 🧬 gives great insight into the Academy’s activities ⁦Biomedical Sciences⁩. bento.bio/story/ugenie-u…

Baby KJ, the world's first patient to receive personalized CRISPR gene editing therapy for a rare metabolic disease, is now home and thriving! This groundbreaking treatment offers hope for other untreatable genetic conditions. #CRISPR #GeneEditing yahoo.com/news/worlds-fi…

We are really excited to finally share this resource. We hope it becomes a useful starting point for biology students. Please let us know if you have any feedback!

Just under a week until UGenie 2025! We are looking forward to welcoming our new batch of students for this year's event Biomedical Sciences.

UGenie 2025 is now in full flow. Our students have already generated CRISPR gene knockouts in E . coli and are now preparing their edited samples for multiplex PCR analysis on Bento Labs. UGenie (Ulster Gene Editing Academy) Biomedical Sciences Bento Lab 🧬.

Ah, so exciting!!! Secondary students preparing CRISPR knockouts for multiplex PCR!! I would have absolutely died to be a part of the UGenie summer school when I was a teenager.

After their career's morning, our UGenie students spent the afternoon analyzing multiplex PCR products from their CRISPR knockout strains using Bento Lab 🧬. As always, using their phones to take pics of the gels through the portable imaging hood was a big hit!

UGenie is a wrap for 2025! Many thanks to all our fantastic students who were a delight to have on the course Biomedical Sciences Ulster University. Wishing them every success with their AS results next week.
