Gene Editing Institute
Wistar and the Gene Editing Institute (GEI) at ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute maintain a partnership that aims to accelerate breakthrough cancer research in the human genome.
The Gene Editing Institute is integrated into Wistar’s Shared Resource, which allows its innovative gene editing technologies to be available to research projects at Wistar and to external users. Led by Eric B. Kmiec, Ph.D., the GEI works directly in the design, synthesis and optimization of gene editing tools (CRISPR/Cas9, TALENs, etc.) that can be used across a wide array of biomedical applications.
