IEEE Madison’s November 7th 3 pm tour is at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery’s Saha Lab where they use CRISPR technology for addressing inherited retinal disorders. We’ll tour the lab, see a CRISPR machine and see how the output is used. Welcome to the CRISPR Vision Program at the University of Wisconsin- Madison! UW – Madison is a part of the Somatic Cell Genome Editing (SCGE) Consortium funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We're innovating non-viral gene editing therapies for inherited retinal disorders. Our work aims to bring the groundbreaking potential of CRISPR technology to those affected by these diseases. The labs focus lies in overcoming the limitations of existing viral delivery systems and introducing novel, non-viral treatments for inherited eye diseases, particularly those affecting the retinal pigment epithelium. As a part of the SCGE Consortium, the lab is working in a community dedicated to developing safe and effective gene editing methods to treat genetic diseases in somatic cells.

IEEE Online Forum on Climate Change Technologies This online forum will highlight recent developments in IEEE technologies and solutions that promote climate stability. It will provide interesting and relevant keynote talks on technology. Roadmaps, panels, and subject-matter experts will provide vital information about climate change. IEEE is the global voice for engineering, computing, and technology information and resources. The IEEE Future Directions Committee has organized this event to provide insights into the technologies being developed at IEEE. Participants will learn about IEEE’s use of technology to achieve goals related to addressing the challenges posed by adaptation to and mitigation of climate change, as well as achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
