Chemistry Seminar Series: Sam Sternberg

Conference/Seminar

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry presents "Discovery and development of CRISPR-associated transposases" with Sam Sternberg. Hosted by Ryan Jackson. Sam's doctoral and postdoctoral research focused on the mechanism of nucleic acid targeting by RNA-guided bacterial immune systems (CRISPR–Cas), especially CRISPR–Cas9, and on the development of these systems for genome engineering applications. More recently, his lab pioneered the discovery of CRISPR-associated transposons and their development for new methods of RNA-guided DNA integration. His lab employs a range of biochemical, biophysical, genetic, and structural techniques to investigate CRISPR and transposon biology, with an eye towards applying mechanistic knowledge for tool development.
