Tour the CRISPR Vision Program Lab at the University of Wisconsin- Madison WID!

IEEE Madison’s November 7^th 3 pm tour is at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery’s Saha Lab where they use CRISPR technology for addressing inherited retinal disorders. We’ll tour the lab, see a CRISPR machine and see how the output is used. 

Welcome to the CRISPR Vision Program at the University of Wisconsin- Madison! UW – Madison is a part of the Somatic Cell Genome Editing (SCGE) Consortium funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We're innovating non-viral gene editing therapies for inherited retinal disorders. Our work aims to bring the groundbreaking potential of CRISPR technology to those affected by these diseases.

The labs focus lies in overcoming the limitations of existing viral delivery systems and introducing novel, non-viral treatments for inherited eye diseases, particularly those affecting the retinal pigment epithelium.

As a part of the SCGE Consortium, the lab is working in a community dedicated to developing safe and effective gene editing methods to treat genetic diseases in somatic cells.
