Invited Talk | Therapeutic Genome Engineering to Treat Sickle Cell

ASPIRE BioNEST , in collaboration with the SchoolOfLifeSciences . , University of Hyderabad , looks forward to hosting an invited talk by Dr. Jonathan Yen , Ph.D., Associate Member in Hematology and Director, Therapeutic Genome Engineering Laboratory, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital , Memphis, TN.

Dr. Yen’s pioneering research is advancing next-generation CRISPR and genome engineering approaches to correct genetic mutations and develop transformative therapies for Sickle Cell and inherited blood disorders.

🧬 Key Focus Areas:
β€’ Precision genome editing for targeted therapies
β€’ Translating CRISPR research to clinical application
β€’ Innovative treatment strategies for genetic disorders

πŸ“… Date: 14 October 2025
πŸ•ž Time: 3:30 PM onwards
πŸ“ Venue: Seminar Hall, School of Life Sciences – UoH

Join us to gain insights into how therapeutic genome engineering is shaping the future of precision medicine and driving impact from bench to bedside.
