About

Where did CRISPR come from? How does gene editing work? In this course, start from the origins of CRISPR-Cas systems and explore all the way to molecular cloning & mechanisms/applications of CRISPR technologies! The later sessions would include some pretty advanced and cool stuff, so be sure to buckle up!

Hi, I am currently a university student who got both 7s in IB HL biology and chemistry. I am super passionate about molecular biology and done R&D for CRISPR related technologies. I’m here to help spread the love for biochem to more students and help answer any questions they have.
