Celebrate
10 years of CRISPR technology! That’s right, World CRISPR Day 2022 is a big one. From basic research to real-world applications, we’re recognizing a whole decade of CRISPR and the positive impact this technology is making across the globe.
Learn
Get up-to-date with the latest research and breakthroughs. We know the field is moving rapidly, and it can be hard to stay on top of all the incredible CRISPR developments out there. World CRISPR Day is the perfect opportunity to keep your finger on the community pulse.
Connect
After all, it was a chance meeting after a conference that led to Doudna and Charpentier’s groundbreaking CRISPR paper! While we aren't in-person (yet), use this excellent chance to connect with speakers, learn about opportunities, and inspire new methods of collaboration.

About World CRISPR Day
World CRISPR Day brings together a community of Genome Engineers from around the world in one amazing, virtual, free scientific symposium.
It features an all-star cast of scientists from around the world focused on utilizing CRISPR to generate gene and cell therapies, accelerate discovery biology and drug discovery, and imagine new gene editing innovations.
Agenda
Session 1
Innovation
Thu 9:00 - 11:10 AM
Session 2
Implementation
Thu 11:25 - 1:05 PM
Session 3
Impact
Thu 1:25 - 4:05 PM
In the 10 years since CRISPR was developed, scientists have massively expanded and improved the genome engineering toolbox. There are now a wide range of technologies derived from the original CRISPR-Cas9 system that can be used for different applications, new nucleases that have been discovered and engineered, and a variety of methods to improve CRISPR editing efficiencies.
In this session, we’ve lined up some of the key pioneers of CRISPR technology to present their latest innovations and improvements, including next-generation gene editing techniques such as base editing, recombinases, and PASTE, increasing homology directed repair to improve editing outcomes, overcoming the challenges of CRISPR editing in primary cells, and new delivery strategies.
