Professor: I want to draw your attention to a special lecture this Thursday. Dr. Kenji Tanaka will be speaking about his team's recent breakthroughs in CRISPR gene-editing technology. This is significant because his lab has developed a more precise method that reduces off-target effects, a major challenge in the field. This could have profound implications for treating genetic disorders. The talk is at 4 P.M. in Sterling Hall. I strongly suggest you attend if you're interested in the future of genetics.
