Don’t forget to register and submit an abstract for the 'High-Content CRISPR Screening' conference, which will take place in Vienna, Austria, on 18–19 March 2026!

Conference website: www.perturb2026.bio

Meet the Speaker: Silvia Domcke

Dr. Silvia Domcke’s research group at the University of Zurich combines single cell genomics and large-scale CRISPR screens to predict de novo transcription factor activity in mammalian cells and engineer cell state transitions. Previously, Silvia led a computational team at a San Francisco biotech startup, applying in vivo Perturb-Seq for target discovery in complex diseases. A biochemist by training, she became enamored with comparative genomics and perturbation approaches at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, built a foundation in gene regulatory mechanisms during her PhD at the Friedrich Miescher Institute in Basel and expanded this expertise to high-throughput single cell methods during her postdoc at the University of Washington in Seattle.

„An. Aus. An. Aus.“ – So funktioniert Forschung nicht. Unsere Geschäftsführerin Elvira Welzig warnt im @KURIER vor kurzfristiger Forschungsfinanzierung. Wer auf Spitzenforschung setzt, muss Verlässlichkeit schaffen.

An? Aus! – Das wäre für die Wissenschaft fatal

Unser Fortschritt geschieht nicht auf Knopfdruck. Bei der Forschung spart man an falscher Stelle. Ein Gastkommentar von Elwira Welzig.

We’re thrilled to announce that the "High-Content CRISPR Screening" conference will take place on March 18–19, 2026, in Vienna, Austria.

The registration is now open via the conference website:
lnkd.in/d8KACZy5

Meet the Speaker: Luke Gilbert

Dr. Luke Gilbert is a Professor at the University of California, San Francisco and a Core Investigator at the Arc Institute. Dr. Gilbert was an early pioneer in repurposed CRISPR systems that are used to turn genes on (CRISPRa) and off (CRISPRi). More recently, the Gilbert lab has developed new strategies for editing heritable epigenetic memories (CRISPRoff/on) and for systematically mapping human genetic interactions at very large scales or at single cell resolution. Medically, the Gilbert lab is focusing on using CRISPR functional genomics expertise to tackle big problems in cancer biology.
