Evaluating gene targets for CRISPR/Cas9-based treatments of pancreatic cancer.
Started May 28, 2024
Abstract or project description
This paper will focus on identifying optimal gene candidates for treating pancreatic cancer with the gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9. With the results of this paper, possible delivery methods of CRISPR will be researched to determine which is ideal considering the pros and cons of each delivery method.
