a fast-moving project on the development of CRISPR-based tools for applications in stem cells and neuronal cell types. The Technician will collaborate closely with a graduate student (Jingyi Wei) and Prof. Konermann to conduct high-throughput CRISPR transcriptional
perturbation experiments in human stem cells and stem cell-derived neurons and glia. </span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
