EDUCATION

The Future of Gene Editing Starts Here

The Gene Editing Institute provides an opportunity for all students to develop the skills needed to explore careers in gene editing and put CRISPR technology into practice.

Gene Editing 360™: Tools for a Journey of Discovery

Gene Editing 360™ is a suite of highly flexible educational tools designed to launch high school and college students on a journey of learning and discovery about the fundamentals of CRISPR gene editing technology.

Gene Editing 360™ has three components:
CRISPR in a Box™
CRISPR in the Classroom™
Monthly Workshops
CRISPR in a Box™

At the heart of Gene Editing 360™ is CRISPR in a Box™, a teaching toolkit that provides students in high schools, community colleges, universities, and remote classrooms with a unique, hands-on learning experience in CRISPR gene editing. The Gene Editing Institute developed CRISPR in a Box™ with support from the National Science Foundation and in partnership with Rockland Immunochemicals and Delaware Technical Community College. The kit can be purchased from Rockland ImmunochemicalsCarolina Biological Company and from Avantor/VWR.
