CRISPR Cures for Cancer
Thursday, November 21, 2024

Join the second annual CRISPR Cures for Cancer Symposium, a one-day event bringing together investigators from the CRISPR Cures for Cancer network. This tri-institutional initiative is dedicated to accelerating the design and development of novel cell therapies for cancer using cutting-edge genomic technologies.

Throughout the symposium, researchers will present their most recent findings, showcasing innovative applications of CRISPR and other genomic tools in the fight against cancer. 

This year will also feature Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna as a keynote speaker. Doudna, a pioneer in CRISPR technology, will share her insights on how genome editing will transform healthcare.

In addition to learning about the latest advancements, this symposium offers the space to foster collaborations and build connections with fellow scientists across institutions. Whether you’re an investigator, lab member, or collaborator, you’ll have the opportunity to share knowledge, spark new ideas, and drive future innovation in cancer research.

This event is open to researchers within the CRISPR Cures for Cancer initiative, their lab members, and members of Gladstone Institutes, UC San Francisco, and the Innovative Genomics Institute.


CRISPR Cures for Cancer is a tri-institutional initiative to accelerate cell therapy design and development using genomic technologies. CRISPR Cures for Cancer unites researchers at UC San Francisco, Gladstone Institutes, and the Innovative Genomics Institute at UC Berkeley to accelerate the development of novel therapies for a wide variety of cancers by combining genetic discovery and design with innovations in CRISPR technology.
