The Scientist brings together a panel of experts to share their perspectives on genome-wide functional screening and applications in drug development.
Genetic screens are powerful techniques to investigate gene function, dissect complex biological processes, and rapidly assess drug targets. Advances in CRISPR/Cas9 technology have led to remarkable progress in this relatively new field. The Scientist brings together a panel of experts to share their perspectives on genome-wide functional screening and applications in drug development. Attendees can interact with the panel during the live webinar by asking questions and sharing their experiences.
Topics to be covered:
- Application of genome-scale gain- and loss-of-function screening using the CRISPR system
- Identification of biomarkers associated with genetic vulnerabilities in genome-scale knockout screens
- Use of synthetic drug screens to evaluate drug efficacy in different tumor mutational backgrounds
