Research in the Department of Genome Engineering is currently focused on three major areas:

• Development of genome editing technologies and methods for assessing its effectiveness and specificity

• The use of genome editing technology to establish disease models and in cell and pre-clinical therapy of genetic diseases 

• The use of genetic tools in experimental therapy for polyglutamine diseases
