About
Hi! My name is Sakina and my Polygence Project regards the disadvantages of CRISPR, the new genome editing technology that is proving to be increasingly successful yet has flaws leading to unpredictable side effects. After my project is complete, I would like to hibernate for at least a week (just kidding), I mean, learn more about genetics and the biotechnology field.Projects
