Stanford University undergraduates have developed an inexpensive kit to bring the gene-editing technology to a classroom near you.
Matthew Lau, who is a co-first author on the paper, began working in the Qi lab while he was still a high schooler, after he attended a summer camp at Stanford. In 2018, Qi took him to a biotech conference in New York, where Lau saw a poster regarding an educational kit, which was expensive. That was the spark for making a DIY kit – something that could engage the community and bring science into the hands of students. The team focused on CRISPR because it was already a major part of Qi’s lab research.
