The Future of Gene Editing Starts Here.
ChristianaCare's Gene Editing Institute seeks to empower, inspire, and engage the next generation of scientists committed to advancing gene editing technology. Our mission is to ensure that CRISPR education remains affordable and accessible to schools across the country, bringing more students into the lab space and increasing STEM literacy in this new and groundbreaking field.
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.
Our focus is to demystify gene editing technology while enriching STEM education at both the high school and collegiate level with CRISPR in a Box™. The program currently centers on CRISPR in a Box™, an educational kit that provides students the opportunity to understand and utilize revolutionizing CRISPR/Cas technology and gene editing.
On-Site Programs
Are you a teacher looking for ways to immerse your students in the world of gene editing? We have a fully stocked learning lab, where students can perform a half-day gene editing experiment with experts from our lab. This opportunity also allows students to speak directly with experts in the field about their own experiences in the lab as they learn this new and innovative technology. A primer course preps students for a menagerie of experiments, whether they are novices to gene editing or have previous experience with the subject.
Learn more about the Learning Lab below, and book your session early! Slots are going fast.
