How CRISPR Is Being Used to Prevent GMO Contamination

Professor Michael Smanski at the University of Minnesota is conducting groundbreaking science to engineer CRISPR-based genetic barriers which can halt gene propagation and control the flow of genetic information. Join us in our upcoming webinar as we learn how to create synthetic, species-like reproductive barriers and their applications in the field.

In this webinar, we will cover

Introduce a novel CRISPR approach to combat transgenic escape and contamination.

Review applications for genetic barrier technology in the fields of agriculture, pest control, and disease eradication.
