GARNet and OpenPlant are collaborating to organise a CRISPR-Cas workshop in Norwich on September 
7–8th 2015 - click here for more details and to register: 
http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/plant-crispr-cas-workshop-tickets-16655369659

The first day of the workshop is targeted at those wishing to learn the basics of CRISPR-Cas genome 
editing technology, as well as those who are already aware of it but wish to learn more about recent 
developments and advances. This is a day of conventional presentations mixed with opportunities for 
networking with fellow researchers interested in using this technology to benefit their research. A 
full program will be available shortly.

The second day of the workshop on September 8th will be a 'hands on' in-silico session that will be 
limited to 22 attendees. This portion of the workshop will be led by Dr Nicola Patron, Head of 
Synthetic Biology at The Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich, and will provide participants with the 
opportunity to learn how to identify and pick genomic targets, build modular CRISPR constructs and 
screen edited plants.

Preference for this event on the 8th September will be given to early-career researchers who can 
clearly illustrate how this event would benefit their research. People interested in attending the 
second day of the workshop should contact Ruth Bastow (ruth at garnetcommunity.org.uk 
<mailto:ruth at garnetcommunity.org.uk>) explaining how they might use this technology in their research.

For further discussions and networking opportunities a Conference Dinner will take place after the 
first day of the workshop and is available to all attendees, whether or not they are participating 
in the second day of the event.

For those requiring accommodation, a block booking of rooms has been made at Broadview Lodge. To 
book a room either call 01603 591930 or email broadviewlodge at uea.ac.uk 
<mailto:broadviewlodge at uea.ac.uk>. Please quote 'GARNet Ref: Kx36312' when making your booking.

For any further questions about the workshop please contact Ruth (ruth at garnetcommunity.org.uk
