My research is focused on development and implementation of novel applications of CRISPR systems in basic research. Examples include defining genetic factors affecting the delivery of CRISPR/Cas into cells, applying base-editing for scanning mutagenesis screens, and refining methods for pooled genetic screening with different CRISPR/Cas modalities.
