Also join us on October 17 at 12PM ET for the next installment of our Free Educational Webinar Series: Hunting for Disease Genes – CRISPR's Role in Gene Discovery with Dr. Abraham Trujillo (BIOL 425). Attend for a chance to win a FREE FALL B COURSE! 

Curious about the world of CRISPR and its groundbreaking applications? Join us for an insightful talk and interactive Q&A session. We will begin with a comprehensive overview and historical journey of CRISPR technology, then dive into how CRISPR is revolutionizing functional genomics and genetic screening to pinpoint the genes responsible for various diseases.

Dr. Abraham Trujillo received his Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Perpignan in France and is currently a postdoctoral IRTA fellow at the NHLBI. He is leveraging genome-wide CRISPR screen and proteomics to elucidate molecular mechanisms that prevent cell death in ischemia-reperfusion injury. His research also focuses on understanding the activation of cell death pathways in conditions characterized by ischemia, such as myocardial infarction, organ transplantation, and stroke. 

The Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences (FAES) at NIH seeks to foster education and research in the biomedical sciences by providing instruction at the cutting edge of biological science and its evolving applications. Our goals also include responding to the educational and cultural needs of the NIH community and projecting FAES educational assets globally. All courses and workshops are open to the public. NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY AS TO STUDENTS FAES admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin, sex, disability, or age in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship programs, and other school-administered programs.
