Head to Emeryville for a new Grounds for Science cafe night. The night’s topic will be “CRISPR/Cas9: From Bacterial Defense to Gene Editing Revolution” with Alexandra Seletsky.

CRISPR/Cas9 is making headlines as a groundbreaking tool for genome editing.  But what was the original purpose of this enzyme and how does it work? What is a “CRISPR” and who knew that bacteria get sick? Join them for a conversation on bacterial immune systems and how a single protein has become the hottest new tool in biology.
